Landsvirkjun and Eimskip Join Forces for the Energy Transition

Landsvirkjun and Eimskip signed a Letter of Intent today concerning Eimskip’s energy transition for its shipping- and ground transport fleet. 

Our Carbon Intensity Remains Among the Lowest in the Energy Sector

Greenhouse gas emissions from Landsvirkjun’s operations in the first two quarters of 2022 were approximately 23,700 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalents, an increase of 12% year on year.

Profit for the first half of the year USD 145 million

Renegotiations with power intensive customers lead to stronger results. 

Renewable Energy for Sustainable Land-Based Salmon Farming 

A milestone was achieved in sustainable food production in Iceland, when Landsvirkjun and Landeldi, the owner of the Deep Atlantic project, signed a term sheet for electricity delivery for a new salmon farm in Þorlákshöfn. 

Landsvirkjun will start capturing and reinjecting carbon dioxide from the Þeistareykir Geothermal Station, as well as reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the Krafla Power Station through enhanced well management. This project has been named Koldís.

Green hydrogen back-up power for data center

Verne Global, provider of sustainable data center solutions for high intensity computing, and Landsvirkjun, the national power company of Iceland, have announced a collaboration which will see Verne Global trial and deploy hydrogen fuel cells to produce reliable and sustainable back-up power for its Icelandic data center campus.

Demand for electricity in Iceland is greater than supply. Our green energy becomes ever more valuable, and its demand is expected to increase further. Supply is limited and building new power plants takes planning and time. 

Strong demand and an upward trend in prices to industrial customers

Landsvirkjun’s operations were good during the quarter in particularly challenging circumstances which were affected by high energy demand, a prolonged period of low reservoir inflow and frequent bad weather at the company’s operating locations. 

Annual General Meeting Ratifies ISK 15 billion in Dividends

At Landsvirkjun’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) today, April 29, the Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs appointed the Company’s Board of Directors, in accordance with the Landsvirkjun Act.
