The contract has been signed for the construction of a geothermal heating plant in Sochaczew, Poland, which is expected to be completed by 2026.
The contract for the design and construction of the geothermal heating plant in Sochachzew, Poland has been signed between Poznan-based Envirotech and the Przedsisbiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej Sochaczew (PEC Sochaczew / Thermal Energy Company).
Valued at PLN 46.42 million (approx. USD 12.40 million), the contract will involve the construction of a geothermal heating at al. 600-lecia 70, supplied by water from the GT-1 and GT-2 boreholes. The agreement also concerns the adaptation of the PEC infrastructure to use the new geothermal source. The contract assumes that the works will be completed by December 2026.
The first research well, GT-1, in Sochaczew was drilled at Okrezna Street back in 2018 thru a PLN 10 million subsidy. The second well geothermal well, GT-2, was drilled in 2024 to a depth of 1620 meters. Testing of the well indicated an outlet temperature of 44.5 °C, a flowrate of 184 m3/hour, and good injectivity.
Drilling of the second well and the construction of the heating plant is supported by a PLN 62 million (USD 15.63 million) funding that the city received from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW) back in 2023.
In late 2023, the city of Sochaczew received PLN 62 million (USD 15.63 million) in funding from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW) for the drilling of a second well and the construction of a heating plant.
“This is the largest energy project in the Sochaczew region, part of a huge task with a total value of PLN 76 million gross,” remarked Mayor Daniel Janiak during the contract signing.
“Geothermal energy is a great opportunity for stable, safe and reasonably priced heat supplies to apartments, and I deeply believe that in the near future, we will also have supplies of good quality water, which after passing through a treatment plant will go to our taps,” added MP Maciej Malecki.
“I am glad that the mayor, the president of PEC and their associates are leading this project with a steady hand. We are talking about the largest energy investment in the history of Sochaczew.”
