The working group was established last week at the invitation of the Vojvodina Secretariat for Energy, Construction, and Transport and France’s ES-Geothermie, which offers general contracting services for the development of deep geothermal projects. The working group’s goal is to facilitate projects to build the first geothermal power plants in Vojvodina, as well as to supply district heating systems and industrial producers with energy from Vojvodina’s geothermal resources, according to a statement from the municipality of Vrbas carried by its portal Vrbas.net.
The working group’s activities are based on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the Vojvodina government and ES-Geothermie in March 2017, which led to the signing of a document on further cooperation on the project during French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent visit to Serbia.
