Abstract:
Türkiye’s rapid geothermal scale up provides a reference case for countries seeking to expand deployment while maintaining reservoir performance and long term sector viability.
The move toward geothermal was driven by the need to strengthen energy security and diversify the energy mix in a system highly dependent on imported fuels. As a domestic, reliable resource, geothermal offered both supply security and system resilience.
Publicly led exploration, supportive market reforms, and targeted incentive mechanisms helped reduce risk and attract private investment, reinforced by access to long term finance and operational know how from the oil and gas sector.
At the same time, challenges such as geographic concentration, slower exploration, and fragmented reservoir management have begun to affect performance, highlighting the governance conditions that shape the durability of large scale geothermal development.
The webinar will highlight what other countries can learn from Türkiye’s experience - both the policy and market choices that enabled rapid growth, and the areas where stronger governance and long term planning could further improve outcomes.
