Thidriksvallavatn is a lake in Steingrimsfjordur in the Westfjords and serves as the storage reservoir for Thvera Hydropower Plant. The Thvera river flows from the lake and has been used for power generation since the mid-20th century.
The lake level has been raised in stages by dam structures to increase storage and provide a more reliable water supply for the power plant.
