Lithuania JSC "GEOTERMA"

Lypkių Str. 53,

LT-94100 Klaipeda

Western Lithuania widespread major geothermal anomaly, which towards Jurbarkas, Taurage, Kelme, Telsiai. Power plants can be planted in this geothermal region, which will produce clean energy.

At the year of 1991 has been created public enterprise “Geoterma”, for testing and use of recourses, which later reorganizer into Joint Stock Company. Its mission is formulated as follows: Western Lithuanian geothermal anomaly of the possibilities offered by full utilization, particularly in ecologically clean thermal energy.

Geothermal energy is one of the most other extending renewable energy in Lithuania. It can be used to heat villages and individual objects, fish production, horticulture and others. Therefore, it is very important to promote geothermal ideas of the state level. This objective is implemented through the follow measures: global experience in geothermal energy accumulation and dissemination; consultation and practical experience of geothermal use; education activities.

Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant

(Kruonis PSP)
LT – 56037, Kruonis, Kaisiadoriu raj.,

Lithuania

Kruonis Pumped storage hydroelectric plant is the only hydro power plant of such type in Baltic states. After commissioning of the fourth unit in 1998, installed capacity of the plant has reached 900MW. During periods of low demand, usually at night, Kruonis PSHP is operated in pump mode, and, using cheap surplus energy raises water from lower reservoir to upper one. With fully filled upper reservoir the plant can generate 900 MW for about 12 hours. Automatically started, the plant can reach full capacity in less than 2 min.

Rapid response to demand is very important in case of emergency in the power system, such as shutdown of Ignalina nuclear power plant.

Pump storage power plant – sophisticated engineering complex with two reservoirs, which are situated at different elevations. During off peak periods, power in taken from the lower reservoir (reservoir of Kaunas hydroelectric plant on river Nemunas) to the upper one (artificial reservoir). In peak load periods or in case of emergency, the water stored in the upper reservoir is used to drive turbine generator units and supply power to electricity network.

Main topics of the visit: Recruitment and training of employees of energy storage enterprise.
