PPC Renewables with ELECTOR is planning a 250-kW geothermal pilot plant within the island of Lesvos, Greece earlier than constructing as much as an 8-MW geothermal energy station.
PPC Renewables, the renewable power subsidiary of state power firm, is planning to place up a 250-kW geothermal pilot undertaking within the island of Lesvos in Greece inside 2024. That is thought of solely an preliminary stage in growth with the final word aim of putting in and working an 8-MW geothermal energy station in Lesvos.
The plan to proceed with a geothermal pilot follows the constructive outcomes of pumping assessments finished within the Stipsi space, in addition to the encouraging findings of geothermal fluid temperature in Argennos.
Preliminary analysis on the geothermal potential of Lesvos began in 2009 however has been stagnant since 2011. The work obtained again on observe following the creation of a particular function firm in 2020 as a cooperation between PPC Renewables and ELECTOR. Following a young, ELECTOR was chosen by PPC Renewables to be a associate for geothermal growth of 4 geothermal fields – Lesvos, Milos-Kimolos-Polyaigos, Nisyros, and Methana.
The historical past of geothermal exploration is Lesvos and the long run plans for growth have been additional expounded on by Deputy Mayor for Planning of Western Lesbos Ms. Asanoula Kokkineli throughout a radio interview.
“The utilization of the Stipsis area is a really previous case with a historical past that begins in 1972, that’s, 50 years in the past. We consider that the time has now come for its utilization for the wants of our island. It’s estimated that by using the power fields of the area basically, a manufacturing unit of 8 MW will likely be constructed. After all, the wants of the island are a lot better. Nevertheless, an try will likely be made to cowl them as a lot as attainable with renewable power sources in cooperation with the residents who can, with power communities, assist the hassle of the municipalities of Mytilini and Western Lesvos to make our island autonomous when it comes to power with renewable sources by 2030.”
“We’re working laborious on this path and we consider that we are going to succeed. On this effort, as Western Lesvos we are going to make the most of all the probabilities we’ve. The geothermal area of Polichnitos could also be of low potential, however it may be used for heating buildings and in agricultural manufacturing and the area’s greenhouses”.
