| Abstract | The Maguarichic geothermal project is a typical prospect under operation off-grid in a rural area and the experiences gained during the exploitation of the geothermal reservoir, construction and operation of the plant are presented. The benefits for the community of a continuous electrical supply are also presented. Recommendations based on this experience are expressed on how to install these plants easily, how to drill the wells and how to improve the technology to reduce the operation problems in rural areas where spares and other requirements may be very difficult to obtain. |
