Electroconsult to explore Aluto Langano geothermal field


Issue 293 - 29 Jan 2015 | 1 minute read

Italy’s ELC Electroconsult has been awarded a $499,000 contract for geothermal surface exploration in the Aluto Langano region. The contract, signed on 7 January, forms part of a geothermal exploration project established by the Icelandic International Development Agency (Iceida) and the Nordic Development Fund (NDF). A 7.3MWe plant at Aluto Langano was launched in 1998 as a pilot scheme, and the area is considered to have considerable additional potential. Iceida signed a partnership agreement with the government in September 2013 for geothermal surface exploration and capacity building for geothermal development.
