Summary

Geothermal Baltic OÜ has signed an agreement with Estonian utility company Eesti Energia (Enefit) for a pilot project that will use closed-loop technology to supply geothermal heating to the city of Narva, Estonia. The proposed solution will make use of the Eavor-Loop, the patented closed-loop geothermal technology developed by Eavor Technologies Inc (Eavor).

Geothermal Baltic is a company owned by Estonian investors representing Eavor’s technology in Estonia and other Baltic countries.

Based on the agreement, Geothermal Baltic will be constructing a geothermal test borehole on property owned by Enefit. Depending on the results of the borehole, heat production with a capacity of at least 15 MW can be supplied to the city.

Narva has the second-largest district heating network in Estonia and is currently serving 60,000 residents. Enefit supplies heat to the network at the most affordable price in Estonia – EUR 39.83 per MW. According to Margus Vals, member of the board of Enefit, the success of the pilot project will allow them to supply carbon-free district heating at a reasonable price.
