Dr Ragnhildur Sigurdarsdottir, a highly regarded environmental consultant, apparently fell foul of Landsvirkjun last autumn over a report she had been commissioned to write on the Thjorsa hydropower project (the report was commissioned by VSO, a consultancy contracted by Landsvirkjun). "I was asked to falsify my report to justify the larger-scale power plans Landsvirkjun wanted," she maintains. "When I refused, it was altered anyway." She went to the press with her story, and almost immediately, she says, found herself out of work. "All the jobs I had in the pipeline were cancelled overnight." Landsvirkjun dismisses Sigurdarsdottir"s allegations as "unsubstantiated". "She was unwilling to name the individuals she was accusing," saysSophusson, adding that every employee who had contact with Sigurdarsdottir has "signed and published a declaration that these grave allegations were totally unfounded".
