Abstract
This plant has been supported three times by the European Commission, (DG XVII) in 1981, 1989 and 1991. The aim of the project was the recovery of an old oil wildcat well to produce geothermal water to ensure the heat requirements for 5 hectares of greenhouses. Finally the plant was constructed in 1993 and hot water only used for fishfarming applications. The existing geothermal plant produces 200 at temperature to maintain by means of a plate heat exchanger a temperature of in the ponds during all the year. The first year of exploitation (1992- 1993) has a proved energy savings estimated at about 4 TOE.
