Prešov自治区与开发商PWEnergy签署了一份互助合作备忘录，旨在在Prešov地区的L’ubotice进行地热发电项目。如果该项目成功，这将是斯洛伐克的第一座地热发电厂。

备忘录的签署是一个重要的里程碑，继今年早些时候报道的项目通过环境影响评估程序之后。通过这项协议，该地区承诺在其职权范围内支持地热发电厂的建设，其中可能包括城市和受影响的市镇的空间规划的任何建议性变化。

PWEnergy董事会主席Milan Jankura还表示，该公司正在准备一项详细的钻探计划，将公开招标。目前还没有公司参与这个招标的计划，因此还没有公告。

“Prešov地区当然准备在基础设施建设方面提供帮助。我们目睹了能源消耗的增长，这个项目确实可以帮助人口，以及公司和工业降低能源成本，”地区主席MilanMajerský说。

勘探和开发计划计划钻探一口勘探井，最终深度为3500至4000米，以验证该地区的水热条件和深层地质结构。如果参数适合，勘探井可以用作生产井。作为项目第一阶段的一部分，计划总共建设三口生产井。

计划的地热项目目标容量为6.5兆瓦，足以满足2万户家庭的电力需求。还计划利用余热为6000多户供暖。

预计2024年开始钻探，目标是2026年完成发电厂建设。该项目第一阶段的总投资达到6500万欧元。

ThePrešov self-governing region has signed a memorandum of mutual cooperation with developer PWEnergyfor a geothermal power project in L’ubotice within the Prešov district. If the project proceeds, this will be first geothermal power plant in Slovakia.

Thesigning of the memorandum is a significant milestone that follows up on theproject passing the environmental impact assessment process,as reported earlier this year. With this agreement, the region commits to supporting the geothermal power plant construction within its competencies, which many include any proposed changes in the spatial plans of the city and affected municipalities.

MilanJankura , Chairman of the Board of PW Energy, also said that the company is preparing for a detailed drilling program, for which a public procurement will be announced. There is currently no scheme yet for companies to participate in this procurement, thus no announcements have been made.

“”ThePrešov region is, of course, ready with help in the construction of infrastructure. We are witnessing jumps in energy consumption and this project can really help the population, but also companies and industry to reduce energy costs,” said Regional Chairman Milan Majerský.

Explorationand development planAnexploratory well is planned to be drilled to a final depth of 3500 to 4000 meters to verify the hydrogeothermal conditions and deep geological structures in the area. In case the parameters are suitable, the exploratory well can be utilized as a production well. A total of three production wells are planned as part of the first stage of the project.

Theplanned geothermal project has a target capacity of 6.5 MWe, which will be enough to supply the electricity needs of 20,000 households. There are also plans of harnessing the residual heat from supply heating to more than 6,000 households.

Drillingis expected to start by 2024 with a target completion of the power plant by 2026. The total investment for the first stage of the project has reached EUR 65 million.
