Þótt RARIK sé ekki með dreifikerfi á Reykjanesi gæti öskufall haft áhrif á það. Í sumum tilfellum hefur aska áhrif á leiðni og getur valdið truflunum á afhendingu rafmagns. Við förum því yfir til hvaða aðgerða við gætum þurft að grípa. Einnig erum við tilbúin að veita félögum okkar hjá HS Veitum og HS Orku aðstoð ef þörf krefur. Hugur okkar er svo hjá íbúum Grindarvíkur og Reykjaness á þessum erfiðu tímum.

Original news text:

Due to the possibility of an ash fall, if an eruption starts in the Reykjanes peninsula, the RARIK service area could be affected. Consequently, we have activated our emergency management and raised our risk level to uncertainty. Although RARIK does not have a distribution system on the Reykjanes Peninsula, ash fall from a possible eruption could affect our distribution system. In some cases, ash affects conductivity and can cause disruptions in the delivery of electricity. We are therefore reviewing what actions we might need to take for this eventuality. We are also ready to assist our partners at HS Veitur and HS Orka if needed. Our thoughts are with the residents of Grindavík and Reykjanes during these difficult times.
