Geothermal Energy Investment Workshops
Mannvit has over five 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.
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
