Verkis

Verkis is a company providing geothermal energy. It operates several key plants including the Svartsengi plant.

There are some useful details on their operations on their website.

The generation of energy in Iceland is an interesting mix. Many would guess that geothermal power is the largest source of energy, given the amount of hot springs, geysers etc., but the majority of Iceland's energy comes from hydro-electric power, with dams on many of its major rivers.
