Geothermal Prospects in Nicaragua
Nicaragua is endowed with a substantial geothermal
potential that is connected with the active volcanic
cordillera along the Pacific coast.
Geothermal power generation began in 1983 with
the startup of the Momotombo plant, which now (2000)
has a capacity of 70 MW. A second geothermal field
(San Jacinto- Tizate), discovered in 1993, has at
least 25 MW of power potential confirmed by deep
drilling.
Two other areas have been investigated to the pre-feasibility
level, and another 6 identified in a preliminary
way.
