Step by Step

A visit to the Hellisheidi power plant provides an insight into one of the largest geothermal power plants in the world. With an installed capacity of 303 megawatts (MW), it can generate around 400 MW of thermal energy. Thanks to the audio guide, you will learn about its characteristics and discover why the use of geothermal energy is important for Iceland. The activity lasts approximately one hour.

The Hellisheidi geothermal power plant is an example of how Iceland harnesses geothermal resources to produce clean and sustainable energy, which contributes to reducing the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Due to its location on a tectonic fault, Iceland has a considerable amount of underground heat, which is harnessed for home heating and clean energy production.

Despite being located in an industrial area, the plant is surrounded by fascinating natural landscapes. It offers a unique blend of natural elements, such as volcanoes and mountains, together with facilities related to geothermal energy production. It is located in the southwest of the island, about 30 kilometres from Reykjavík.
