KAPSARC – Geothermal Market Growth in Türkiye: Policy and Legislative Insights for New Market Entrants, Feb 2026

Summary

The report focuses on the growth of the geothermal energy market in Türkiye, emphasizing policy and legislative frameworks that affect new market entrants.

Türkiye is located in a highly tectonically active region, which poses seismic risks but also provides significant geothermal energy potential. The geothermal reservoirs are a result of tectonic activity, offering an abundant and sustainable baseload energy source. This duality of seismic risk and geothermal opportunity has driven reforms in legislation, market liberalization, technology, and financing to harness geothermal energy. The sector is evolving with continuous reforms aimed at expanding geothermal energy's role in diversifying Türkiye’s energy mix and meeting energy demand sustainably.
