Geothermal developer KS Orka is preparing to build the first geothermal power plant in Serbia and expects it to start commissioning in 2018. The project is planned as a combined heat and power plant.

Icelandic-Chinese geothermal developer KS Orka has been working on development of a geothermal project in Serbia, as we reported before.

Now the company announces that it aims to commission the first geothermal power plant of the country sometime next year.

Planned as a combined heat and power plant, the project location is in Vranskja Banja in the southern part of the country.

The power of the plant will be fed into the local electricity grid and the local hospital facility will buy off the heat from the plant.
