The usage of geothermal energy in the two principal centers for geothermal applications on the Reykjanes Peninsula, South Western Iceland, is reviewed briefly. In the first one Reykjanes, industrial applications are the principal aim. In the second one, Svartsengi, power generation and district heating are the principal function applied. In both the above cases, scaling consideration have been an important criteria for design and development. Extensive pilot operations have been conducted in order to solve the pertinent problems. These and other relevant considerations are summarized.
