Croatia to build geothermal plant - The power plant is expected to start operation in 2028
Turkish company Soyak plans to build an 80 MW geothermal power plant in Croatia. This plant will be the largest in the country.
Croatia has only one geothermal power plant, Velika 1 in Ciglena, with a capacity of 16.5 MW. However, various investors, from private companies to local authorities, have demonstrated the intention to use geothermal energy.
The Ministry of Economy has issued a permit to Terra Energy Generation for the use of geothermal water at the Legrad 1 location. Terra Energy Generation is a subsidiary of Soyak, which holds a license for geothermal exploration.
According to sources, the project will be implemented in two phases. The company has 60 days to sign the contract with the ministry for the use of geothermal waters. The investor has the obligation to start oil engineering activities at the site no later than one year from the signing of the contract, the decision states.
The permit is granted for 25 years from the date of entry into force of the contract. The location defined by the ministry covers 20.89 square kilometers.
The start of construction of the geothermal power plant is expected in the spring of 2026 and the facility will start producing energy in early 2028.
According to the analysis, Croatia has geothermal potential for power plants with a combined capacity of about 1 GW.
In June, sources from the ministry announced that by 2030, Croatia plans to connect a total of 319 MW of geothermal power plants to the grid.
