Turkey hosts significant geothermal resources due to its unique tectonic setting at the convergence of the African, Eurasian, and Arabian plates. While conventional hydrothermal systems have been successfully developed over the past decades, much of the country’s high-enthalpy potential remains untapped—especially in regions suitable for advanced exploration techniques and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Turkey’s geothermal landscape, highlighting its geological advantages, current exploration strategies, and sectoral trends. It further outlines the growing investment opportunities fueled by supportive regulatory frameworks, rising energy demand, and a national commitment to renewable energy expansion. By bridging geoscientific insights with private sector dynamics, the study offers a strategic roadmap for investors seeking scalable, long-term geothermal projects in Turkey
