Geothermal Wells Drilling to Begin in Kosice, Slovakia
Drilling of three geothermal wells is set to commence in Kosice, Slovakia, as part of a project to develop one of the largest geothermal heating plants in Europe.
The drilling work, which starts this week, is for a geothermal heating project at the Svinica-Durkov site in Kosice. The project involves drilling three wells: one production well and two reinjection wells, to depths of approximately 3,700 meters.
The thermal waters are expected to have temperatures of up to 135 °C and flow rates of 55 L/s. The geothermal project is being implemented by GEOTERM KOSICE and MH Teplarensky holding, with significant participation from the City of Kosice.
- Estimated capacity: 90 to 100 MWt
- Annual thermal energy: approximately 175,000 MWh
The City of Kosice has included the project as a priority in its new spatial plan, approved this year.
