| Abstract | Russia possesses up-to-date technologies of geothermal electrical and heat power plant construction and maintenance, as well as power equipment engineering and manufacturing. The consistent increasing fossil fuel prices and the availability of a considerable number of drilled wells are stimulating advances in geothermal technologies for heat and electric supply. There are prospective plans to construct the 2nd stage of the Mutnovsky GeoPP 50 MW(electric); pilot Binary GeoPP (BGeoPP) using northern (near Pauzhetsky geothermal power plant) and southern (in Krasnodar region) plant design, with 2.5 MW(electric) for each unit, district heating of Vilyuchinsk (Kamcharka), Rozoviy (Krasnodar region). The approved geothermal roadmap for up to 2020 governs constructing geothermal electric and heat plants with 336 MW(electric) and 552 MW(heat) of installed capacity respectively in different Russian regions. |
