Work starts on Kula geothermal greenhouse in Turkiye

Work has now started on the “Kula Geothermal Energy and Technological Greenhouse Installation” project, which will be built in the Emir Thermal Springs region with the cooperation of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the support of the Zafer Development Agency in the Kula district of Manisa. We have previously reported on the geothermal sourced technological greenhouse installation planned in Kula.

The project cost is estimated to be approximately  TRY 94 million (approx. USD 5.4 million). The Kula Project, for which the Zafer Development Agency will cover the cost, will bring economic mobility to Kula when completed.

In a speech to an AA correspondent, Kula Mayor Huseyin Tosun stated that the thermal water will be sourced from a depth of 182 meters without using a pump in the Sehitoglu District and has been idle for years.

Stating that they are working on greenhouse investment after the preparatory work for the correct use of this resource, the President said that a 50 thousand square meter geothermal greenhouse would be established on a total area of ??135 thousand square meters. The President emphasized that they plan to start production in the greenhouse after 15 months and aim to produce 2 thousand tons of tomatoes per year and employ approximately 100 women and young people.
