| Abstract |
The paper describes the “power rush” that is under way in Iceland to supply electricity to aluminium smelters. Two plants were commissioned in the past year and a half and two more turbines will come on stream before the end of the year. Six drill rigs are now active in winning steam for projects that are in the pipeline. In addition to the active home scene Icelandic banks and project developers have been very active overseas and have set their aims at becoming global players within the geothermal industry. |
