Abstract

Albania is relatively rich with low up to the middle enthalpy, geothermal resources. Their temperature varies from 34°C up to 65.5°C to Kozani -8, the most important among the Albanian geothermal wells. The geographical position of the well, placed in the middle of a village, very close to the corridor 8, are the basic parameters on choosing these waters for our designs and calculations. The design provides the cascade and integral use, but not only. It also provide the electricity generations, through a hybrid system. The economic analyses, based on the NPV calculations, shows that this resource is completely competitive, and is unjustified it’s further “waste”. Despite the fact that the investment is too high (over 5.5 million Euro), it is completely feasible. It will also help on improving the living standards for the local community.
