    This thesis presents the knowledge and experience gained during the author’s stay in Keilir Institute of Technology in Iceland. Due to the twofold shape of this desideration, it is artificially divided into two parts, the first more theoretical and the second concerning the project that was run in Iceland. It includes the introduction of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), as well as its development and research. Also characteristic of Iceland is being discussed together with the utilisation of the geothermal resources within the country. The project section concerns the case study of Hólmavik town in Westfjords region. Mainly the geological aspect as well as tectonics is taken into consideration and static resources of petrogeothermal energy are determined for two different scenarios. As the effect, it is shown that from geological point of view, implementation of EGS technology in such town as Hólmavik in Iceland might be plausible. Nevertheless, both technological and economic aspects need to be determined for the complete feasibility study of EGS within low-temperature areas in Iceland.
