Larderello – Pisa, Italy
In an area known as the Devil’s Valley, near the little village of Larderello, the world’s first geothermal power plant was completed in 1913. Today, the area is one of the centres of the global geothermal industry, creating a total power output of 800 MW and supplying electricity for over 10,000 users. Larderello has also now become one of the biggest tourist attractions in the region, with Tuscany’s geothermal areas receiving 120,000 visitors in 2017 alone.
