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.
