Hellisheiði Power Station
Hellisheiði Power Station is a geothermal power plant located in Iceland, near the capital city of Reykjavík. It is one of the largest geothermal power stations in the world, with a total installed capacity of 303 megawatts. The plant harnesses the natural heat from the Earth's interior to generate electricity and provide hot water for district heating.
The power station began operations in 2006 and has since contributed significantly to Iceland's renewable energy production. It utilizes steam from underground reservoirs, which is a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy source. The facility also plays a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels with clean energy.
