| Description | The aim of the paper is to verify the economic potential for the use of geothermal energy from existing Mu-3G and Pa-2G thermal water wells in the Pasohlávky locality in the South Moravian Region. The evaluation is based on a financial analysis of the use of thermal water for wellness activities compared to standard heat sources. The use of geothermal energy allows a return on investment over 14 years (without credit financing); levelized costs of heat are estimated at CZK 1.3 thousand/MWh. The processed financial analysis confirmed the economic potential for geothermal energy in the locality. However, its use must respect the rules related to the protection of existing wells as natural healing resources. |
