Italy, accounts for ten percent of all geothermal energy produced worldwide and caters for 26.5% of regional power
needs.
Enel Green Power owns the power plants at the complex serving approximately two million families, 8,700
residential and business customers and 25 hectares of greenhouses. Reservoir depths at the geothermal field range
from 700m to 4,000m below the surface. The first plant at the geothermal field was commissioned a century ago, in
1913, making it the first of its kind in the world.
The first Larderello power plant had a generating capacity of 250kW comprising of a turbine designed and built by
Tosi Electromechanical Company. The geothermal plants at the field were rebuilt after they were destroyed during
World War II.
Hellisheidi geothermal power plant is a flash steam, combined heat and power plant (CHP) located at Mount
Hengill, approximately 20km east of the capital city of Reykjavik. The plant has a production capacity of 303MW
of electric energy and 400MW of thermal energy.
The sixth largest geothermal power plant is owned by Orkuveita Reykjavikur. It was constructed by Mannvit
Engineering and Verks Engineering. Power generated from the plant is supplied primarily to the nearby aluminum
refineries.
The power plant was commissioned in five phases from 2006-2011. It covers an area of approximately 13,000m.
Six high pressure (HP) turbines for the plant were supplied by Mitsubishi, while a low pressure (LP) turbine was
supplied by Toshiba.
