Iceland: Flúðir Geothermal Power Plant to Start Producing Electricity in the Fall

Utilizing low-geothermal heat with latest technology (News Release)

The new power plant is estimated to start producing electricity in the fall of 2018.

At Flúðir, small community in southern Iceland, a new low temperature geothermal plant is rising. The power plant uses a new operating system for the utilization of geothermal heat to produce electricity. EFLA is the main consultant in the project and is responsible for designing the piping system, and all subjects related to the geothermal aspect.

The geothermal well contains hot water that has a temperature of 116°C and the capacity of the well is 45 liters per second. With the Climeon Heat Power modules, it is possible to produce clean energy by utilizing the temperature from 116°C to 76°C and cool the geothermal water. The geothermal fluid heats up a working fluid that is inside the Heat Power units. The system operates at low-pressure levels in comparison to traditional heat power solutions.
