“Mannvit has played a leading role in geother-
mal energy and hydropower development in
Iceland,” Haukur continues. “The company has
over 40 years of experience in the geothermal
sector, both in development and construction of
projects generating over 2,000 MW in geother-
mal power and heating capacity.”
from reSourCe to Power ProduCtion
Mannvit offers a comprehensive suite of design
and consulting services that can take a project
from start to finish. The services range from
exploration of high- and low-temperature geo-
thermal fields, designing flash steam power plants
that produce electricity and hot water for district
heating to the design of geothermal power plants
that produce electricity utilizing low-temperature
geothermal water via binary cycle. "I can foresee
that related to both the oil and mining projects,
particularly in East Greenland, that the comple-
mentary services to support production will be
built up in Iceland."
