Wedoany.com Report-May 24, Turek, a city in central Poland, is making steady progress on its geothermal heating project, with plans to launch commercial operations by 2026. The initiative recently completed testing of its second well, GT-2.

Construction of geothermal heating plant in Turek, Poland

Drilled by UOS Drilling SA to a depth of about 2,665 meters, GT-2 serves as a reinjection well with an injectivity rate of approximately 150 cubic meters per hour, three times that of the first well, GT-1, drilled in 2019. The well taps into a geothermal resource with temperatures up to 79.4°C. Together, these wells form the core of Turek’s geothermal heating system.

The geothermal heating plant’s construction, located near the well site, is approaching completion. City officials are also considering additional uses for the geothermal water, such as balneology and recreational applications in swimming pools.

Miroslaw Wypiór of PGKiM stated: “An application has been submitted to the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW) for the drilling of a third geothermal well.” If approved, this would enhance the plant’s capacity, delivering more heat with lower electricity consumption. The application is under review.
