Abstract
Guatemala has been exploring geothermal power as a source of energy for some
years now. The energy capacity for geothermal power generation is expected to
increase exponentially by the year 2022 in Guatemala. The production capacity
of energy with geothermal resources is expected to be around 1000 MW. The
steam rising from the Pacaya volcano and the hills and rivers surrounding it
on the outskirts of Guatemala's capital city hints at a power source that
could give the country the energy security it requires.
Geothermal steam and water in Guatemala is being tapped by the global
alternative energy company Ormat, converted into electricity, and fed into the
city's main power grid. There are currently only two geothermal power plants
in Guatemala, both owned by Ormat, but the government says there are many more
opportunities for exploiting geothermal energy in the future. It hopes to use
this power source to meet up to two-thirds of the country's annual energy
demands by 2022.
Guatemala wants to wean itself off the $2 billion it spends on oil imports
every year. Accordingly, the Guatemala government is offering tax breaks on
equipment brought in to build geothermal plants. The government in Guatemala
is actively promoting renewable energy generation projects and has introduced
policies to attract foreign investments in the sector.
Aruvians Rsearch analyzes the Geothermal Power in Guatemala in its latest
research offering Analyzing Geothermal Power in Guatemala.
The report is a comprehensive coverage of the geothermal industry in the
region as well as in Guatemala.
The report begins with an introduction to geothermal power. We analyze the
utilization of geothermal energy, the grading of geothermal resources,
technologies used in geothermal power generation, emerging technologies,
amongst others.
We analyze the global geothermal power market before the analysis of the
geothermal market in Guatemala and in North & South America. We first analyze
the global geothermal power industry through power generated from geothermal
resources worldwide and global geothermal power installed capacity. We further
look at the factors impacting the global geothermal power industry such as
growth drivers and challenges facing the global geothermal industry.
Geothermal power in North & South America is analyzed through power generated
from geothermal resources, installed capacity of geothermal power, regional
segmentation of the industry and the major industry deals that have taken
place in recent years.
For the geothermal industry in Guatemala, we analyze the power generated from
geothermal resources, geothermal power installed capacity, industry
segmentation by renewable energy technologies, regulatory frameworks governing
the market in Guatemala, and major industry projects, both existing and
upcoming.
Major global industry players are analyzed through a corporate profile, an
analysis of their major business segments, the presence of these companies in
the geothermal market, and a SWOT analysis.
Aruvians Rsearch's report Analyzing Geothermal Power in Guatemala is a
complete guide to this rapidly growing industry.
