Deep geothermal energy in Switzerland
This map shows deep geothermal plants in operation as well as current and former deep geothermal projects in Switzerland. A project may involve geophysical prospection and one or more boreholes. Additional information can be found in the <a href=" https://map.geo.admin.ch/?layers=ch.swisstopo.geologie-reflexionsseismik&topic=georessourcen" target="_blank">Reflection seismic</a> and <a href="https://map.geo.admin.ch/?layers=ch.swisstopo.geologie-bohrungen_tiefer_500&topic=georessourcen" target="_blank">Deep wells</a> layers. The project status corresponds to one of the following: – Prospection: Following regulatory approval by the canton (s) geophysical and geological studies are employed to identify a reservoir in the subsurface (permit zones shown, if available). – Under development: A reservoir has been identified and deemed suitable for producing geothermal energy. Permits required for the construction of a geothermal plant have been obtained and construction will begin shortly or is already in progress. – In operation: The plant is producing geothermal energy. – Abandoned: For any one of various reasons, the project has been stopped. Projects and plants are classified in the following types of system: Deep geothermal probe, Hydrothermal, Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) and High temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES). Shallow geothermal energy production (i.e., <500 m depth to reservoir) is not featured. The map does not purport to be complete.
