Let's Harness the Potential
of Geothermal Energy

Our geothermal center will enable ecological production of electricity and heat for households and industry. Sustainably and responsibly towards the environment.

exploration areas

Based on measurements and surveys, we identified favorable conditions for project implementation in the districts of Prešov and Žiar nad Hronom.

capacity factor

Geothermal resources, compared to conventional energy sources such as gas and other renewable energy sources like wind, solar and biomass, provide high stability and production efficiency throughout the year independently of weather, fuel availability or geopolitical changes.

thermal potential

In each location, we will build facilities that will produce energy in volumes capable of meeting the electricity and heat consumption of tens of thousands of Slovak households.

CO2
emissions during operation

Unlike energy production from fossil fuels or biomass, thanks to the closed geothermal circuit, no emissions or other harmful or polluting substances are released during the operation of the geothermal facilities, thereby preventing the production of tens to hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 .

A Solution for a Modern Country

Slovakia has rich geothermal energy resources yet remains behind in utilizing them. PW Energy's goal is to change this situation and to contribute to the country's long-term commitment to increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix on the path to carbon neutrality by 2050. Equally important is the contribution of geothermal resources to ensuring energy self-sufficiency and security of energy supply in our country. We believe that the valuable energy source hidden beneath the Earth's surface represents a unique opportunity in replacing fossil fuels with long-term sustainable and independent alternatives.

How a Geothermal Power Plant Produces Green Energy

01

Geological survey

Conducted in areas with anticipated geothermal energy occurrence

02

Well Drilling

The geothermal well will be drilled at a selected location within our projects at an average depth of 3.5 to 4 kilometers

03

Water pumping

Hot water at approximately 150 to 160 degrees Celsius rises from the Earth's crust to the surface where it reaches approximately 140°C due to heat losses in the long way up to the surface

04

Electricity generation

Geothermal water in the primary circuit heats the working fluid in the secondary circuit via a heat exchanger, which drives a turbine under pressure and generates electricity (both circuits are independently hermetically sealed)

05

Secondary heating

Residual heat from the geothermal circuit is used to supply heat, for example to district heating systems, or for industrial or recreational heat supply.
