Leading in the production of renewable energy for more than 50 years
HS Orka is a privately owned heat and power production company built on the solid foundation of Hitaveita Suðurnesja, a regional utility established in 1974.
HS Orka owns and operates five electric power plants, two geothermal plants on the Reykjanes Peninsula and three hydropower plants – in the South, East, and West of Iceland. Development of further energy oportunities in Iceland is underway, both in geothermal and hydropower.
Geothermal energy has been an inseparable part of Icelandic nature and culture since the settlement of the island. As technology advanced, geothermal energy began to be used for electricity production.
HS Orka is Iceland's third largest and only privately owned energy company. The company, which has been producing renewable energy for half a century, owns and operates two geothermal plants, one in Svartsengi and the other in Reykjanes.
