Bouillante 1&2 geothermal power plant

Linked among others to reinjection, to inspection and expertise services on plant condition, operation and maintenance.

The Geothermal Power Plant in Guadeloupe, Carribean, is a 15 MW plant producing electricity with two turbo-generator sets powered by saturated steam from geothermal wells. The first generator 1,5 MW, went online in 1996 and the second 10 MW, in 2004. The plant contributed to almost 5% of the island‘s electricity supplies in 2011. The plant is operated by Géothermie Bouillante which is 97.8% owned by the French Geological Survey BRGM and 2.2% by EDF.

The Challenge

The Bouillante Geothermal Power Plant is one of the Caribbean’s most important renewable energy facilities, supplying geothermal electricity to Guadeloupe. The challenge was to support the long-term development, operation and reliability of the plant through technical expertise, resource optimization and infrastructure improvements.
