EFLA Consulting Engineers has appointed Steinþór Gíslason as Director of Energy, succeeding Birta Kristín Helgadóttir. This marks the second time Steinþór has held the position, having previously led the Energy division from 2020 to 2023.
Strong position in Europe
With nearly two decades at EFLA, Steinþór brings extensive expertise in energy infrastructure and international project development. Since 2023, he has focused on developing EFLA’s Swedish subsidiary while also leading EFLA´s group-level collaboration in the Transmission & Distribution sector. Under his leadership, EFLA AB in Stockholm has seen significant growth, a role he will continue alongside his responsibilities in Iceland.
“It is very exciting for me to take on this role again. EFLA holds a very strong position in energy projects in Iceland and has also established a strong position in Europe within the Transmission & Distribution sector. I am very pleased to have the opportunity once again to lead the excellent group of specialists who work at the energy division in Iceland,” says Steinþór.
Steinþór emphasizes the critical need for investment in energy infrastructure, generation, distribution, and grid management to support the energy transition and economic growth. “At EFLA, we contribute to projects from all angles, designing, consulting, and implementing solutions that strengthen societies,” he adds.
