Summary
The town of Bóly in Baranya County in southwest Hungary is set to upgrade and expand their existing district heating system which was first developed back in 2004. The upgrade will cost around HUF 189 million (approx. USD 509 million) and will be co-financed by the local government, the Hungarian government, and the Swiss-Hungarian Cooperation Program (Swiss Fund).
The first thermal well in Bóly was drilled in 2004 at the city center, which was soon followed up with several additional wells. Since 2008, public institutions in Bóly have been supplied by geothermal water for heating. From 13 TJ in 2008, the amount of geothermal energy sold from the system has increased to 20 TJ. Accordingly, the total flowrate has increased from 125 to almost 200 cubic meters per year.
