Hörður Arnarson, CEO: “Landsvirkjun´s operations were successful in the first three quarters of 2018. Demand from both new and current customers was diverse, and sold energy increased by 345 GWh compared to the same period prior year. The two new power plants at Theistareykir and Burfell II are almost finished in construction and thus the Company´s main focus is now on reducing debt so that dividend payments can be increased. Since the start of 2018, the company´s net debt has decreased by USD 103 million and will continue to decrease at a faster rate in the coming months, according to the Company´s forecasts.”
