The City of Sveta Nedelja has secured funding for the project ” Development of documentation for the geothermal water exploration phase in the area of Sveta Nedelja ” from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014 – 2021, as well as national co-funding from the Republic of Croatia through the “Energy and climate change” Program.
The City of Sveta Nedelja has submitted the project entitled “Development of technical documentation for the use of geothermal energy” and has secured a grant for the development of the technical documentation. The City of Sveta Nedelja is a beneficiary of the project along with partners EFLA Consulting Engineers from Iceland and EKOPLODOVI from Sveta Nedelja.
The total value of the project is €372,006.43, of which €316,205.47 (85%) is non-refundable. The project is to be carried out from 13 March 2022 to 13 March 2024.
The City of Sveta Nedelja has launched a public tender procedure for the selection of the contractor for the Geothermal Potential Study of the Sveta Nedelja 2 geothermal water exploration area, and on 21 March 2023 signed a contract with GEODA CONSALTING d.o.o. from Zagreb, which will be the contractor for the Study. The value of the tendered services is EUR 41,250.00 including VAT, of which 85% is non-refundable.
The objective of the study is to identify the location of new geothermal wells in the Sveta Nedelja 2 exploration area. Once the priority areas have been identified, it will be necessary to simulate the production from the geothermal reservoir, calculate the volume of the aquifer and prepare an economic analysis of the geothermal project.
The study includes the acquisition, systematisation, analysis and interpretation/reinterpretation of geophysical data. Along with the analysis of existing and published data and the results of previous research (geological, geophysical, carotation, hydrodynamic, laboratory, structural-tectonic), the geological, physical, geochemical and petrochemical parameters of the pre-Cenozoic carbonate deposit will be determined.
A scan of 30 MT points is proposed, with the arrangement shown in the figure. The depth measurement for all points is 3500 m. Magnetotelluric data must be processed, and at least a 1D/2D inversion of the points must be made.
Upon completion of the study, work will commence on the development of the Conceptual Design for the Sveta Nedjelja GT-2 exploration well, including the location permit and the Conceptual Design of the well drilling.

The project ” Development of technical documentation for the use of geothermal energy” is funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 with national co-funding from the Republic of Croatia under the “Energy and Climate Change” Programme.
Sustainable development and protection of the environment are the goals of the project – once the projects following the drilling of the well and the acquisition of the exploitation field are completed, CO2 emissions will be reduced and energy will be used that is independent of weather conditions and the price of energy sources.
