Abstract
In this paper there are treated the topics of the studying of geothermal energy sources in Albania and of the possibilities of their exploitation. Albania is a rich country in natural energetic sources. Mountain born rivers with plenty of water created the possibility of building a powerful chain of hydro power plants. Oil, natural gas and coal are also important energetic source for Albania. The objective of this paper is to present the possibilities for the extension of energetic resources by using the geothermal energy. In addition for Albania it is possible to use also the solar and wind energy. Geothermal studies in the post three years have shown the possibility of the exploitation of the geothermal energy.
