A geothermal well is vented to the atmosphere in 1999, for the occasion of inaugurating the first geothermal powerplant to come on line at Berlin, El Salvador. (Photograph by Wendell Duffield.) electrical power needs of El Salvador. With increasingly favorable political and economic climates, these two coun- tries probably could satisfy much more of their electrical demand from geothermal resources. In Costa Rica, about 55 megawatts of generating capacity came on line at Mira- valles in 1994. Subsequent exploration and development at Miravalles have boosted the total generating capacity to nearly 145 megawatts, thus providing about 25 percent of that nation’s electricity. Other promising geothermal- resource areas are presently being explored in Costa Rica. Guatemala has installed about 28 megawatts of geo- thermal electricity capacity at Zunil, and additional areas are under exploration and development. With an abundant hydroelectric option, the Guatemalan Government could blend hydropower and geothermal in a way that reduces and minimizes the proportion of national demand now satisfied by imported petroleum and other conventional energy sources. Honduras has little Pacific Ocean coastline and there- fore includes little of the Ring of Fire. Nonetheless, several geothermal prospects have been identified in Honduras, and some of these are hot enough to produce electricity. For example, wells drilled during the mid-1980s at Platanares revealed a hydrothermal system at 165°C, a temperature sufficient to generate electricity. Additional drilling at this and other locations is needed to better characterize the geothermal resources of that nation. Mexico has sufficient petroleum resources to export part of its annual production. Yet, in spite of such energy abundance, Mexico also supports a vigorous geother- mal program. At somewhat more than 850 megawatts of installed capacity, Mexico is the world’s third leading pro- ducer of geothermal electricity, some of which is sold to the United States across the border with southern California. Thus, in several developing countries around the Ring of Fire, the use of geothermal energy is enhancing social as well as economic stability by reducing reliance on costly imported petroleum and coal.
