Croatia’s Geo Power Zagocha intends to build 20 MW geothermal power plant in the Slatina region, according to an application submitted to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Energy.
The plant will use Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system to produce electricity, which will be delivered to the distribution network of HEP ODS, Croatia’s state power grid operator, reads the application for determining the need for an environmental impact assessment.
The plant will be located in the Virovitičko-Podravska county, in the Čađavica municipality.
There are currently three geothermal wells (PS-2, PS-4 and PS-5) in the area where the power plant will be built.
The plant will use geothermal water from the existing well PS-5 and, possibly, a new well, which is planned around 900 meters to the east of the future geothermal power plant, Geo Power Zagocha said in the application.
Zagocha geothermal power plant could be Croatia’s second facility for using this renewable energy source
