Búrfell Hydropower Station
Iceland
The 1864th largest power station in the world
The Búrfell hydroelectric power plant (Búrfellsstöð or Búrfellsvirkjun in Icelandic) is a run-of-river hydroelectric power plant located in the Þjórsá valley in southwest Iceland. It is operated by Landsvirkjun. It was, since its construction in 1969, until the construction of the Kárahnjúka power plant in 2008, the largest power plant in Iceland with a capacity of 270 MW (increased to 370 MW in 2018). It was mainly built to supply electricity to an aluminum factory located in Straumsvík, 3 km west of Hafnarfjörður.
