Geothermal Energy
Türkiye is ranked seventh richest country in the world in geothermal potential. The small-sized geothermal power plant was expanded to the country’s biggest one in 2013. Türkiye is one of the leading countries not only in the utilisation of geothermal energy for power generation, but even more so for the direct use of geothermal for e.g. district heating, heating of greenhouses, bathing and SPA facilities. The potential of geothermal power in Türkiye is 4 thousand 500 megawatts and derived from conventional hydrothermal resources. We currently have 1,600 MW of production capacity [official number for year end 2019 is 1,526 MW] yerine ( as of the end of 2019). It is 3,500 MW of thermal that we use in heating. Our potential in heating is 60 thousand MW.
