The 250 KW geothermal pilot plant will serve as a testing ground, paving the way for larger-scale developments in the near future.


### Pumping Tests in Stipsi Area: A Crucial Milestone


Before laying the groundwork for the pilot plant, extensive pumping tests were conducted in the Stipsi area of Lesvos. These tests are crucial for understanding the geothermal reservoir's characteristics and ensuring optimal efficiency in harnessing the Earth's natural heat. The results will guide the design and implementation of the larger 8 MW power station, showcasing a meticulous approach to sustainable energy development.


### Geothermal Fluids in Argenos: Nature's Heat Unleashed


Argenos, another key location on Lesvos Island, has unveiled the potential of geothermal fluids. These fluids, rich in thermal energy, form a vital component of the geothermal power generation process. By tapping into this natural resource, PPC Renewables and ELEACTOR are poised to create a renewable energy ecosystem that not only powers homes and businesses but also contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions.


### The Roadmap: From Pilot Plant to 8 MW Power Station


The 250 KW geothermal pilot plant serves as a precursor to a much larger endeavor – an 8 MW power station that will revolutionize the energy landscape on Lesvos Island. The knowledge gained from the pilot project, coupled with insights from pumping tests and geothermal fluid exploration, will inform the construction and operation of the larger facility. This progression underscores a commitment to sustainable energy solutions that are both impactful and scalable.


### Local Benefits and Global Inspiration


Beyond the technical aspects, the PPC Renewables and ELEACTOR partnership holds promise for local communities. The development of geothermal energy infrastructure not only brings clean power but also stimulates economic growth and job opportunities. Moreover, this initiative positions Lesvos Island as a beacon of inspiration for other regions seeking to harness the untapped potential of geothermal energy.


In conclusion, the collaborative efforts of PPC Renewables and ELEACTOR in Lesvos Island represent a bold step towards a greener and more sustainable future. From the initial stages of pumping tests to the eventual establishment of an 8 MW power station, this venture exemplifies how innovation and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand, shaping a resilient and eco-conscious energy landscape for generations to come.

Driving the UK Toward Net Zero: Chris Sladen on Geothermal’s Untapped Potential

Alphaxioms, we talked to Chris Sladen about his involvement in geothermal both in the UK, and globally By:  Robert Buluma Chris, please begin by explaining a little about yourself, and why you have a passion for geothermal? I have spent over 45 years involved in energy. Following undergraduate studies in geology at Southampton University, and a PhD in sedimentology at Reading University, I joined the energy sector in Aberdeen in 1980. It was a fascinating era when it seemed like at least one giant oil & gas field was discovered offshore every month; the wealth creation for the UK was gigantic. I got to see so much geology and rocks - my true passion. I moved to China in late 1983; not today’s China, this was over 40 years ago, a country closed for decades and embarking on an open-door policy, in part to bring both investment and technology. I became very interested in energy trends, energy politics, and new geography created by changing politics leading to opportunities for ene...
