We proudly announce that Iceland‘s most experienced geothermal energy consultants are working together in East Africa, offering consulting to developers, financial institutions, operators and contractors.

M-V, a company jointly owned by Mannvit and Verkís for cooperation on international projects, has recently signed a consulting agreement with Tulu Moye Geothermal (TMGO) for Owner's Engineer services concerning the development of a geothermal power plant in Tulu Moye, Ethiopia.

The project, Karmøy Technology Pilot, is supervised by the Norwegian company Hydro and involves the construction of a new aluminium smelter which is the most environmentally friendly in the world. Less energy is needed for production than in any other plant. HRV, owned by Verkís and Mannvits, was a participant in the project from the beginning.

The construction of the Dariali Hydroelectric Power Plant in the river Tergi, Georgia which was started in 2011, is completed and the power plant has been initiated. Verkís is the principal designer of the project in close cooperation with Landsvirkjun Power and companies in Georgia.

Yesterday, the 18th of July, the new visitor center HAKIÐ in Þingvellir national park was opened with a ceremony. Verkís involvement in the project is building management and project supervision.

This project is a collaboration between Atli Svavarsson, 11 years old boy in Reykjavík, Verkís and Ævar the Scientist.

Today marks the start-up and cornerstone placement ceremony for Landsvirkjun newest hydropower station, Búrfell II. The project involves the expansion of the Búrfell Power Plant in southern Iceland.
