Celebration of Eyjardalsvirkjun

Addi Palli, pabbi and Eiður

The 21 October 2023 marked the one year anniversary of the hydropower plant of Eyjardalsárvirkjun ehf., in Bárðardalur in the North of Iceland.

I am proud of my father, Þorgeir Björn Hlöðversson, who has with his ambition, knowledge, hard work and good colleagues built and financed the powerplant from scratch.

The powerplant is a valuable addition to the local economy and contributes to green energy production in Iceland.

Residents of Bárðardalur and people connected to the power plant first gathered at Eyjardalsvirkjun to have a look at the station and then at Félagsheimilið Kiðagil to enjoy food and beverages by Sigurlína and Magnús from Svartárkot. I was happy to have the opportunity to take part in the celebration and also play some songs.

What more fitting than to sing together Á Sprengisandi when we are gathered at Kiðagil?
