Informations supplémentaires

The Krafla Power Station is a 60 MW geothermal power station located near the Krafla Volcano in Iceland. It is the nation's largest geothermal power station, drawing heat from some 33 boreholes, about 15 of which are used at any one time. About 15 employees work there, full-time. The first trial boreholes were drilled in 1974. Seismic and volcanic hazards threatened development, but production wells were sunk and the power plant built. Operations began in 1977, and in 1996, a second steam turbine was installed, and additional drilling took place. It reached its target of 60 MW in 1999.
