Question

Why was geomatical energy not been exploited in india.​

Answer 1

India has reasonably good potential for geothermal; the potential geothermal provinces can produce 10,600 MW of power.

Though India has been one of the earliest countries to begin geothermal projects way back in the 1970s, but at present there are no operational geothermal plants in India. There is also no installed geothermal electricity generating capacity as of now and only direct uses (eg.Drying) have been detailed.

Thermax, a capital goods manufacturer based in Pune, has entered an agreement with Icelandic firm Reykjavík Geothermal. Thermax is planning to set up a 3 MW pilot project in Puga Valley, Ladakh (Jammu & Kashmir). Reykjavík Geothermal will assist Thermax in exploration and drilling of the site.

India’s Gujarat state is drafting a policy to promote geothermal energy

Direct Uses

i) Total thermal installed capacity in MW: 203.0

ii) Direct use in TJ/year: 1,606.3

iii) Direct use in GWh/year: 446.2

iv) Capacity factor: 0.25
