Geothermal Energy Investment Workshops

Mannvit has over four decades of experience in geothermal energy development. This experience includes all stages of development from very early research and exploration to fully operational power plants and everything in between. 

To provide an educational forum for the growing number of geothermal  investor prospects, Mannvit offers one or two-day geothermal development training workshops from the company’s headquarters in Reykjavik,  Iceland.  The consultancy team in these sessions consists of geothermal experts in every field. This workshop will provide the following:

• Evaluating the risk/reward of a geothermal  investment opportunity
• Capital and operating expenditures of geothermal development
• Variables between geothermal reservoirs (size and viability of the energy source)
• Stages of geothermal development
• Geothermal project management
• Site visit to a geothermal power plant

The sessions will provide a comprehensive overview of geothermal resource development. Our experts will explain all the pertinent stages of geothermal development, including Mannvit's own methods for developing projects. These sessions can be tailored to specific needs, from the basics about geothermal energy and investment costs, to the O&M costs and more.
