Welcome to our page with data for Croatia - Direct uses

 
 
Total thermal installed capacity in MWt:
67.48
Direct use in TJ/year
468.89
Direct use in GWh/year
130.3
Capacity factor
0.22
 

Direct utilization in the country is mainly for heating swimming pools and spas along with recreational centers, as well as space heating. There are 20 spas and five geothermal fields above 100oC that are using geothermal energy. The five high temperature geothermal fields are being considered for combine heat and electrical energy production and may be started in 2010.

The estimated total direct-use is

34.78 MWt and 253.05 TJ/yr for individual space heating and
32.70 MWt and 215.84 TJ/yr for bathing and swimming,

for a total of 67.48 MWt and 468.89 TJ/yr.
