World Energy Council 2013 World Energy Resources: Geothermal Guatemala Electricity generation Installed capacity MWe 52 Annual output GWh 289 Annual capacity factor Direct use Installed capacity, MWt 2.3 Annual output TJ 56.5 Annual capacity factor Guatemala’s Instituto Nacional de Electrificación (INDE) has five geothermal areas for development. All five (Zunil, Amatitlán, Tecuamburro, San Marcos and Moyuta) lie in the active volcanic chain in southern Guatemala. INDE has conducted both investigative work and development of geothermal power since 1972. It has been estimated that Guatemala’s geothermal resource could supply 20% of the country’s electricity supply. The first geothermal power plant in the country was constructed in the Amatitlán area; electricity was produced from a 5 MWe back-pressure plant for a period of three years (from October 1998), during which time the field was evaluated. During 2007, a 20 MWe binary plant was commissioned at Amatitlán, adding to the existing 5 MWe back-pressure unit. However, the latter unit is currently out of service and INDE expects to transfer it to the next field – possibly Tecuamburro – to be developed some 2 or 3 years hence. A second geothermal plant (in the Zunil I field) with a running capacity of 24 MWe has been operating since July 1999. Following INDE’s exploratory drilling work, a contract was signed with Orzunil I for the private installation and operation of the plant. Until 2019 the company will buy steam from INDE and sell power to the national grid. Direct use of geothermal heat is limited but the 1.6 MWt Bloteca plant is used in the process of curing concrete construction blocks and in another instance Agro-Industrias La Laguna uses a 0.5 MWt unit to dehydrate fruit. The direct-use of geothermal energy in the country in the past has been used for medical purposes, agriculture, and domestic use. The areas of Totonicapan, Quetzaltenango, and Amatitlan are popular tourist attractions known for their thermal bath houses and spas. These are estimated at a total of 0.21 MWt and 3.96 TJ/yr. The construction company, Bloteca, was the first to successfully apply a direct use application of geothermal steam in the curing pro- cess of concrete products (Merida, 1999). In 1999, a fruit dehydration plant, Agroindustrias La Laguan, was built to use hot water from a well in the Amatitlan geothermal field in the drying process. 9.35PDF Image | World Energy Council 2013 World Energy Resources Geothermal
