Project facts

Project promoter:
Chochołowskie Termy sp. z o.o.(PL)
Project Number:
PL-CLIMATE-0020
Status:
In implementation
Initial project cost:
€7,634,941

Description

The need to implement the project results comes from the necessity to reduce energy costs, increase energy supply security (currently the company''s energy supplies are based on one geothermal-well drilled in the 1990s) and the need to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Concession in force, which requires the construction of an injection well before 2026.

The project involves the expansion of the existing geothermal installation with a new geothermal (production) well with an ORC power plant, a water turbine to supply facilities with heat, cooling and electricity from renewable energy sources. The existing PIG 1 well will be changed into an absorbent well in accordance with the requirements of the Concession

The environmental effect is an increase in avoided emission of CO2 - 1,586 Mg / year, production of electricity 1,835 MWh / year, production of geothermal heat 134,220 GJ / year

The beneficiaries of the project will be: the Company itself, the inhabitants of Chochołów and Witów, because the biggest company in this part will not emit CO2 or harmful dust. Students of technical studies and clients in general.
