Turkey has seen an incredible growth of geothermal power generation capacity from 30 MW in 2008 to currently 648 MW. Marching so fast into the Top 10 geothermal countries in the world, Turkey will soon join the 1 GW Geothermal Country Club.

It is therefore not surprising that the country has attracted a lot of interest by the global geothermal energy community, not only as a market for products and services, but also as an example on how to stimulate geothermal project development.
