Abstract
The status of geothermal development in Turkey as of the end of 2002 will be presented in the paper. The potential of geothermal development in Turkey is large in terms of moderate and low temperature resources (<150?C). Therefore, the resources are mostly suitable for direct useapplications. Although 6 high temperature fields suitable for generation of electricity have been discovered, only the Kizildere Geothermal Field has been developed already. Today, in Turkey the direct use capacity for heating is about 540.8 MWt and a number of spas, physical treatmentcentres with a capacity of about 327 MWt give a total direct use capacity of 867.8 MWt. Electricity generation takes place only in Denizli-Kizildere geothermal field with an installed capacity of 20.4 MWe.
