The Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant, which is the largest geothermal power plant in Iceland cost approximately €380 million to build.
However a smaller geothermal plant such as the Svartsengi Geothermal Power Plant cost only around €100 million to build

We'll see if it survives, since there's a large magma intrusion occurring just about under it. The recent eruption there (east of the plant) fortunately flowed away, and they've built a berm to deflect nearer eruptions, but an eruption directly under the plant, inside the berm, would destroy it.

yeah that is interesting. but then that issue is universal for places like iceland and Hawaii isnt it?
