1. Characteristics of the site Source: Per I. Eriksson, Morten S. Riishuus, Freysteinn Sigmundsson, Sten-Åke Elming, Magma flow directions inferred from field evidence and magnetic fabric studies of the Streitishvarf composite dike in east Iceland, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 206 (2011) 30–45 Facts: Town of 139 inhabitants (approximatively 100 buildings) Presence of dykes : heat and fractures Geothermal gradient = ~ 60°C / km Breidðalsvik river (reinjection)

2. Prospection 1. Presence of permeable structures - Fractures 2. Presence of water 3. Estimation of the temperature of water 4. Estimation of the outflow capacity (regeneration) – estimation of the reservoir 5. Presence of dissolved elements in the water

3. Feasability study - Distance from the source - Distribution network - Infrastructures – system utilised - Maintenance costs

4. Example: Installation of system E Double pipe system Breiðdahlsvík

5. Economics of Energy Electricity generation in Iceland by source: Hydro Power 72.67% Geothermal Power 27.32% Fossil Fuels 0.01% Total 100.00% BEFORE investing in geothermal do cost analysis: * explore wind energy as a viable option (3). Askja Energy mentions Landsvirkjun National Energy as preparing two wind turbine sites in Iceland, operational summer 2013 (4) * collaborate with structural geologists and geothermal drilling closest to the village of Breiðdalsvík.
