The geothermal power plant at the VITO Sustainability Park operates under strict, controlled conditions. The insights from past test periods allow researchers to adjust the plant's operating parameters to keep the risk of an induced quake as low as possible. The local seismometer network, capable of detecting the smallest subsurface movements, has been greatly expanded since the beginning of the geothermal project.
Based on the continuous measurements, researchers adjust the plant's operational parameters where necessary. Should a palpable quake still occur, causing damage, VITO will engage the insurance company to compensate.
