CanGEA would like to formally congratulate Taiwan for turning up the heat on geothermal energy in their country!

Last week, Taiwan successfully brought on 30 Kw of geothermal energy online. The project is an ORC plant in Zhiben, Taidong. In a first step it was installed for power production for the "Rainbow Hotel", after three years the developer finally could install the meter and is now also able to sell the power.
