Abstract
Albania is located next to the subduction boundary between the African plate and the Euro-Asiatic one, the basis that allows to have as part of the renewable resources also the geothermal ones, which for the time being are not used at all for their energetical features, but their use is limited only with their health values. The discovery several years ago, of an abyss over a hundred meters deep, having at the bottom, a strong thermal inflow and a vast lake, proofs that there is still much to be done regarding geothermal in Albania. Energetic calculations, technical design, economic analyses and the related calculations are part of this paper.
