The Aluto—Langano geothermal field at the dormant Aluto volcano covers an area of about and is considered to be capable of generating up to of electric power. It features temperatures in excess of 300 °C in a high-temperature up-flow dome at a minimum subsurface depth of around 1200 meters. The geothermal field and its characteristics like stratigraphy, geochemistry and hydrothermal behavior are relatively well explored.
