Slovenia
is relatively rich in thermal water springs. Twenty one natural thermal springs
are known with temperature close to or above 20 °C, however, there are several
drilled localities where no surface thermal manifestations existed. Details about
the geothermal field of Slovenia as well as geotectonic background can be found
in Ravnik (1991), Ravnik et al. (1992) and Ravnik et al. (1995).
Geothermal
investigations and results of hydrogeological and geophysical research as well
as the methods used for determination of geothermal resources are briefly described
in Rajver et al. (1995) and Ravnik et al. (1995). Information about the present
direct use of geothermal energy and some geothermal projects in northeastern Slovenia
is given in Kralj (1996, 1998, 1999), Kralj et al. (1994) and Vorsic et al. (1995).
Geothermal energy is estimated to currently supply approximately
703 TJ/yr of heat energy through direct heat applications in Slovenia.
