OUR PROJECTS
At Reykjavík Geothermal, we focus on advancing geothermal energy initiatives in regions with significant resource potential and the capacity to support sustainable development. Our global project pipeline spans countries that offer the right conditions to drive impactful and reliable geothermal energy initiatives. From Europe to the Americas, Africa to the Middle East, our work is transforming energy landscapes with clean, dependable power.
Iceland
Iceland is a global leader in geothermal energy and Reykjavík Geothermal’s home base. In the Ölfus municipality, just outside of Reykjavík, we are developing geothermal projects that deliver both electricity and thermal energy, enhancing opportunities for green industry growth. Our project developments are designed to deliver significant social and economic benefits while minimising negative environmental impact.

Canary Islands, Spain
Reykjavík Geothermal in partnership with DISA is developing the first geothermal power projects in the Canary Islands. The projects aim to address the urgent energy challenges faced by the Canary Islands, where most electricity is currently generated from imported fossil fuels, entailing high cost and significant carbon emissions.
The successful implementation of these geothermal projects could serve as a long-term solution for cleaner and more reliable energy in the region.

BSI Audit of RG Business Management System
BSI carried out the annual audit of the Reykjavik Geothermal QHSE Business Management System on the 29-31 of October 2020. Assessment standards were ISO 14001: 2015, ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 45001: 2018. Three opportunities for improvement were observed.
The Iceland Renewable Energy Cluster
The Iceland Geothermal Cluster was founded in 2010 to strengthen competitiveness, innovation and increase value creation within the Icelandic geothermal energy industry.
Abaya Geothermal Exploration Licenses
Reykjavík Geothermal's Abaya and Tulu Moye concessions have up until now been covered by the same exploration license. The Abaya concession is located in the SNNPR (Southern Nations and Nationalities People's Region) region, and Tulu Moye in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. The work has now been completed to split this exploration license into separate licenses for each region.
National Plan for Land Protection & Energy: Bolaalda
Early February 2020, the Bolaalda project was approved by the Icelandic National Energy Authority (Orkustofnun) and sent to the steering committee of the National Plan for Land Protection and Energy Development (verndar- og orkunýtingaráætlun, rammaáæltun) – for assessment in terms of land protection or energy development.
Indicative findings from MT resistivity studies in Bolaalda, Iceland
Reykjavík Geothermal's team of geoscientists carried out MT (magnetotelluric) measurements of the Bolaalda area in Ölfus, Iceland, in late 2020. Tentative findings indicate a high temperature reservoir in Bolaalda that is located deeper than in the adjacent areas of Hengill and Hellisheiði.
Abaya Environmental Clearance
The Abaya project in Ethiopia has been approved based on results of the ESIA.
