Grid Summary

Research on different aspects of application of geothermal energy is actively perused. As for geothermal projects, some studies have been conducted in the north west of the country with the collaboration of local and international companies to design a prototype geothermal power plant producing electricity. Other activities in this regard, carried out by this division includes: various geo-chemical activities in "Khoy" Sabalan regions and geological maps geo-physical sampling by aer-magnetic and gravity method in "Sabalan" geothermal region, digging 7 boring well in "Khoy" and "Sabalan" geothermal regions to explore the underground geological conditions., cooperation with different domestic and international companies regarding geological, geo-physical, and geo–Chemical research in geothermal fields of "Khoy" and determination of the deep geothermal storage site (1,800 m) in the region.sources are not likely to contribute significantly to Turkey’s energy mix in the near term…more information.
