Lake Eiði (Faroese: Eiðisvatn) is a lake on the island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands.[1]
Lake Eiði is located between the villages of Eiði and Ljósá.[1] It is the fifth-largest natural lake in the Faroe Islands, with a natural size of 0.47 square kilometers (0.18 sq mi) that has been increased to 1.14 square kilometers (0.44 sq mi).[2] The size of the lake was increased by the SEV company in connection with the Eiði power plant, which uses the lake as a reservoir. Electricity production was started in 1987.[3]
