100% ecological energy from hot water in Deildartunguhver

The Kraumi natural pools in Borgarfjörður

A small power plant has been installed that produces 40 kW of electricity.

Krauma will use some of the electricity itself, but will sell excess electricity to Orkusalun, which will be routed through the RARIK electricity distribution system.


The mini-power plant is manufactured by the French company Enogia. "There are hot springs in several places in Borgarfjörður and if this project goes well and becomes profitable, there will be a possibility of producing electricity here for companies and institutions," says Jónas, CEO of Kraumi.

"Krauma is the perfect place to demonstrate the usefulness of the machine, as the local geothermal baths use water from Europe's most powerful hot spring, Deildartunguhver."


Using the heat in the geothermal fluid as a weapon, sufficient energy can be produced to provide Kraumi with electricity, as well as helping to cool the geothermal fluid before it goes into the baths, which also saves on the use of cold water.


Therefore, the installation of the mini-power plant at Kraumi will greatly increase the sustainability of the baths in a green and environmentally friendly way,"
