Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant

The Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant, situated on the Hengill volcanic ridge in Southwest Iceland, stands as the country’s largest geothermal power facility. Despite the area’s volcanic nature, no eruptions have occurred here for 2,000 years. Alongside the Nesjavellir geothermal power plant, Hellisheidi plays a crucial role in supplying hot water to the Reykjavik region. Visitors can explore the plant’s operations and learn about the sustainable energy practices that harness the earth’s natural heat, providing both electricity and warmth to the capital city.
