Skeidafoss Dam

Skeidafoss Dam is a dam structure on the Fljotaa river in northern Iceland and forms part of Skeidafoss Hydropower Plant. Construction of the original power plant began in 1942 and electricity was first supplied to Siglufjordur in 1945.

The Fljotaa river was dammed in a gorge near Stifluholar, creating storage for the power plant. Skeidafoss played an important role in the electrification of Siglufjordur and in supporting the town's rapidly expanding herring industry.

The hydropower development was later expanded, with Skeidafoss II entering service in 1976.
