GEG Power ehf.

    GEG Power ehf. is an Iceland-headquartered geothermal developer building its business on more than a decade of experience in the development and building geothermal wellhead power plants. The first plant of the company started operations in Kenya in 2011. As of today, GEG Power has built a total of 16 geothermal power plants with a total power generation capacity of 85.6 MW in Kenya and Iceland. See more in our References overview

    With its unique business model, GEG developed its approach of delivering turnkey modular geothermal power plants as a complete package from the well to the connection to the transmission line. The company is able to design, engineer and provide the necessary construction work, assembly on site and commissioning in one package. With this GEG has been able to speed up development, support a faster return on investment, while providing flexibility in a potential build out of the plants.

    The company has shifted focus from the delivery of a complete turn key power plant development package to clients, to a development approach through a joint venture with international partners through geothermal development company Geoneer.

    With that GEG Power is now acting as development partner and investor in projects, combining its project delivery experience with the exploration know of Iceland GeoSurvey (ÍSOR), an internationally acclaimed geothermal exploration service provider, and North Tech Energy, a geothermal drilling services company.

    GEG works closely with its partners in the Geoneer joint venture, as well as selected investors, suppliers, and contractors locally.

    We maintain a strong commitment to ensuring that our activities contribute positively to society and the environment.

    GEG Power is a privately owned company, founded in its original form in 2008 with its headquarters in Reykjavik, Iceland
