Sigalda Power Plant
Iceland
The 2260th largest power station in the world
Sigalda Power Plant (Sigöldustöð [ˈsɪːɣˌœltʏˌstœː], "Sigalda station" [ˈsɪːɣˌalta]) is an electric generating plant located in the southern Highlands of Iceland near Þórisvatn. It is the biggest reservoir in Iceland, located around 160 km east from Reykjavík, among Hrauneyjalón and Krókslón reservoirs. It was officially launched early 1978. This power plant is the newest of six other hydroelectric plants (Búrfell, Búðarháls, Vatnsfell, Sultartangi, Hrauneyjafoss). Its construction was quick. It created demand for more hydropower plants to meet electricity needs in the country. The plant is owned by the national power company of Iceland, Landsvirkjun.
