The first two of them produce both electricity and hot-water for heating purposes, whereas the third only produces electricity. 1) The Svartsengi Power-Plant, situated in the south west of the country, near the International Airport at Keflavik. It currently produces 39 MW of electricity, and about 315 litres/second of almost boiling water (90°Centigrade) Svartsengi Link: http://www.hs.is/english/company/birth.asp 2) The Nesjavellir Power-Plant, situated in the south of the country, near the Lake Thingvallavatn.
