Story details

The BOE published the resolution on 10 October; it is dated 22 September. The final project describes six investigative boreholes, numbered 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, with a maximum depth of 3,500 metres to characterize a geothermal-hydrothermal deposit.

The decision concerns exploratory work and its environmental screening. It is not a production approval, a guarantee of geothermal output or an unconditional drilling permit; compliance with the environmental document’s mitigation measures and the resolution’s conditions is required.
