| Abstract | The geothermal resources of high-temperature systems calculated by the volume method constitute a power potential of about 1130 MWe for 100 years and geothermal prospects with reservoir temperature below 150oC is about 1345 MW for 100 years. Four high temperature geothermal fields have been partially evaluated. The Pauzhetka field is the only one now used for electric generation. The installed capacity of the geothermal power plant is 11 MWe. The construction of the Mutnovskaya plant (the first phase about 80MWe) is in progress as well as the construction of hot water pipe line 80km in length. Among 8 prospected geothermal fields with temperature below 150oC four are now used. The heat output relative to 35oC is in average about 2x10 15 J/year. |
