Abstract
A productive geothermal are of about 9 Km2 sites on the skirts of the Miravalles volcano has been proven. Nine wells have been drilled, seven for production and two for injection. The first 55 MW power unit is under construction. It will start electricity generation in 1993. A second unit of the same capacity will be online in 1995. A nationwide geothermal inventory has revealed some new promising geothermal areas.
