The largest geothermal power plant in India is located in Manikaran, Himachal Pradesh, with an installed capacity of 1.25 MW.

Geothermal power plants utilize heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep within the Earth's crust.

Flash steam power plants use high-pressure hot water that is flashed into steam to drive a turbine and generate electricity.

Geothermal energy is a baseload power source, meaning it can provide a continuous and reliable supply of electricity, unlike intermittent sources like solar and wind.

The high upfront costs associated with geothermal power plant construction and exploration can be a significant barrier to development.

Uttarakhand possesses the highest geothermal potential in India, with an estimated potential of 400 MW.

Geothermal power plants can potentially release harmful chemicals and gases into water sources, requiring careful management and monitoring.

Binary cycle power plants use a closed-loop system where a secondary fluid is heated by geothermal water and then used to drive a turbine and generate electricity.

Binary cycle power plants can utilize lower-temperature geothermal resources, making them suitable for a wider range of locations.

Geothermal power plants typically operate at temperatures ranging from 200°C to 300°C.

Himachal Pradesh has the second-highest geothermal potential in India, with an estimated potential of 300 MW.

Dry steam geothermal power plants have higher efficiency compared to other types of geothermal power plants.

Dry steam geothermal resources are relatively rare, making it a challenge to find suitable locations for power plant development.

Binary cycle geothermal power plants are most suitable for areas with low-temperature geothermal resources.

Hybrid geothermal power plants can utilize a wider range of geothermal resources, including both high- and low-temperature resources.
