Blanda Power Station (Icelandic: Blöndustöð [ˈplœntʏˌstœːθ]) is a dam and hydroelectric on the Blanda River within the northern edge of the highlands in Iceland.[1]

The Blanda Station came on-line in 1991. It is located on the northern edge of the high-lands near the end of the Kjalvegur Mountain Road. To the north is a view over the Blöndu-dalur Valley where the River Blanda flows out to the sea near the town of Blönduós. The Blanda Station is an underground plant, located approximately 230 metres below the surface.[1][2]
