No new addition has been realized since 2005. The geothermal resources of the country are located in Kamchatka and some small plants on the Kurili islands.

However, projects for construction of binary Verkhne- Mutnovsky (6.5 MW) and the second 100 MW stage of Mutnovsky are under development.

The two geothermal areas of Pauzhetsky and Mutnovsky are the main production zones of the Kamchatka peninsula, operated by SC Geoterm: the first field is the oldest in operation (since 1967), with 14 MW and a bottom binary cycle under construction; the second one is the most promising, with a steam zone on the shallow depth and a liquid reservoir (250-310°C) between 1,000 and 2,000 m depth. Its installed capacity is 62 MW, and additional 100 MW are under construction, as well as a bottom binary cycle of 6.5 MW in Verkhne-Mutnovsky.

An intensive exploitation of the huge potential of Kamchatka region is expected in the coming years.
