The geothermal power plant of Insheim taps a geothermal reservoir in a depth of 3,600 meters with a temperature of around 160 degrees Celsius. The plant has today a geothermal generation capacity of 4.8 MWe with an annual output of about 33,000 MWh sufficient to supply electricity to around 8,000 households. The developer and operator is Pfalzwerke geofuture GmbH.

Planning for the project started in February 2007 and the plant was commissioned in November 2012. The plant was built by Ormat Technologies.

Key figures

  • Thermal water temperature: 165 degrees C
  • Flow rate: 50-80 l/ s
  • electrical output: 4.8 MWel – electricity production for approx.8,000 households
  • optional thermal output: approx. 6-10 MWth – Heat production for approx. 600 to 800 households
