Current utilization

Direct use from thermal water at 34 localities; Installed capacity: 65.62 MW_t. Annual thermal energy used in 2015: 486 TJ (=11.61 ktoe).

Ca 9350 geothermal (ground-source) heat pump units (GSHP), both water-source (W) and closed-loop ground-coupled (H and V) systems; their total capacity: 136.64 MW_t. Annual thermal energy used in 2015: 732.09 TJ(=17.49 ktoe) of thermal energy.

Total: from capacity of 202.25 MW_t the annual geothermal energy used in 2015: 1218.09 TJ/yr (=29.094 ktoe=338.36 GWh), equals 0.43% of gross domestic energy use at level of primary energy supply (282.2 PJ in 2014).
