Construction of a geothermal cogeneration installation for the production of heat, electricity and cold at Chochołowskie Thermal Baths (HYDRO-GEO)

Environment Energy and Climate Change Programme MF EOG #ENERGY

The Minister of Climate and Environment with the support of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management as the Operator of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme informs of the conclusion of an agreement for co-financing the Construction of a geothermal cogeneration installation for the production of heat, electricity and cold at Chochołowskie Thermal Baths (HYDRO-GEO) project.

The beneficiary of the project is the Chochołowske Termy sp. z o.o.

About the project

The project received funding in the call for proposals Geothermal energy production under the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, in the area of Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Energy Security.

It is financed in 36,7% from the funds of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, of which 85% comes from the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA FM) and 15% from the state budget.

The total cost of the project is more than EUR 9.4 million, and the grant awarded is over EUR 2.8 million.

The project involves the expansion of the existing geothermal plant with a new geothermal well with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plant, and a water turbine to supply facilities with heat, cooling and electricity from renewable energy sources. The new drilling will allow for wider industrial use of the geothermal source.

The main goals of the project are to increase the production of energy from the geothermal source, reduce the negative impact on the environment, ensure the continuity and reliability of the supply of geothermal heat for the company's energy needs, and reduce the consumption of electricity purchased from the grid.

Implementation period

The project co-financing agreement was concluded on December 28, 2022, and the planned completion date is April 2024.
