Scientists selected an area measuring 200 square kilometres (77 sq mi), where temperatures are recorded up to 350 °C (662 °F), with ability to generate 500MW up to 1,000MW annually.

The first phase involves drilling of six exploratory wells for the development of a power plant with capacity of the initial 10MW .

[1] The second phase involves the drilling of 13 more geothermal wells and the addition of another 50 megawatts of "commercial-scale" output, bringing capacity to 60MW.

(CGC), a special-purpose company registered in the United Kingdom, whose shareholding is illustrated in the table below.

[1][4] The cost of construction of the first phase of this infrastructure project (the first 10 megawatts) is entirely equity funded.

United States Agency for International Development[1][3] The contract for the geothermal drilling was awarded to Mannvit Engineering, based in Kopavogi, Iceland.
