Services

Orkuveita Reykjavíkur´s service area extends to 20 communities, containing 67% of the Icelandic population.  We provide electricity, hot water for heating, cold water for consumption, as well as maintaining sewage systems.

Electricity is generated at our geothermal plants in Hellisheiði and Nesjavellir, and in the Andakílsá and Elliðaárdalur hydroelectric plants.

Hot water is harnessed from low-temparature fields in Reykjavík and Mosfellsbær and distributed for space-heating, which reaches 99% of housing in the Reykjavík metro area. Hot water for space heating is also generated at the Nesjavellir plant by heating cold, groundwater.

Cold water is collected from reservoirs outside of Reykjavík.

Our services extend to smaller communities in the southern and western parts of Iceland.
