But Iceland's total
geothermal capacity is only 750MW, so they don't make much use of it
themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothe...wer_in_Iceland



They make a lot of use of it for heating and presumably don't use it
more for electricity generation because they have even cheaper hydro
power, pretty much everyone's favourite renewable.

I don't think it is an indication of how much power they could generate
economically from geothermal.
