Editor's Notes

  1. Costs of geothermal electric power are very dependent on the character of the resource and project size. The unit costs of power currently range from 2.5 to over 10 US cents per kilowatt-hour while steams costs may be as low as US$3.5 per tonne. Major factors affecting cost are the depth and temperature of the resource, well productivity, environmental compliance, project infrastructure and economic factors such as the scale of development, and project financing costs.
  2. Indirect CostsIndirect costs vary significantly depending on the location of the site, its accessibility, level of infrastructure and expatriate requirements. Approximate Indirect costs have been given based upon three different categories of project locations. Location A, is typical project site in a developed country. Infrastructure is in place, skilled labour is available and port facilities and a major city relatively close by. Indirect costs are about 5 - 10% of direct costs. Location B is a typical project site in a more remote area of a developed country, or in an area of a developing nation where infrastructure is of a good standard, there is a pool of skilled labour and the nation enjoys political and social stability. Indirect costs are about 10-30% of direct costs. Location C is a typical project site in a more remote area of a developing nation, where infrastructure is poor, accessibility is difficult, skilled labour is scarce and there is the risk of political instability. Indirect costs are about 30 - 60% of direct costs.
