HS Orka's Projects

In Iceland, the demand for electricity is currently greater than the supply. As a result, more electricity is required to meet society's demands.

HS Orka has several power plant options for inspection on the Reykjanes peninsula. The company is also looking at power plant options in other parts of the country. The main focus is on the utilization of hydropower.

All power plant options are subject to licensing and go through a thorough preparation process. In terms of preparation and licensing, the options under consideration have come a long way.

Our Power Plants

HS Orka is the country's third largest energy company, producing about 8% of the country's electricity. HS Orka owns and operates two geothermal plants, in Svartsengi and in Reykjanes. The production of electricity and hot water has been their mainstay. Due to the convenient location and unique conditions, it is possible to utilize residual currents from the power plants for a variety of production.
