  • Workers are reinstalling three streetlights near Þorlákshöfn after removing them for wind-turbine transport.
  • Fourteen of the 28 turbines planned for the Vaðölduver wind farm have been erected.
  • The first 14 turbines are expected to start operating in autumn, with the entire wind farm targeted for full operation by the end of next year.

Streetlights are being put back in place after they were removed to make way for wind turbines being transported from Þorlákshöfn to Vaðölduver.

Vaðölduver lies on a lava and sand plain east of the Þjórsá River and south of the Sultartangi Dam. Fourteen of the 28 turbines planned for the wind farm have now been erected there.

The 14 installed turbines are expected to begin operating in autumn. The project is expected to reach full operation with all 28 turbines by the end of next year.

A photograph taken at the Þorlákshöfn roundabout shows Bjarni Steinarsson reinstalling one of three streetlights planned for the area. Bergraf is carrying out the work.
