We respect the Icelandic natural environment and place emphasis on minimising the environmental impact of our operations. We will become carbon neutral in 2025. Then, emissions from the Company’s operations will equal carbon sequestration.
Now is the time to act. We will do our part in the fight against climate change.

We operate fifteen hydropower stations, three geothermal power stations and two wind turbines for research purposes in five operating areas in Iceland.
In operating power stations, emphasis is placed on a holistic vision, where prudence, reliability and harmony of the operations with environment and society are the guiding principles.
