Total thermal installed capacity in MWt:	21.7
Direct use in TJ/year	255.36
Direct use in GWh/year	70.9
Capacity factor	0.37

Geothermal research and development in the country has increased over the past five years, however, only five new wells were drilled. Direct-use of geothermal energy has been implemented at 23 locations, with individual space heating being the largest use of the energy (44.9%), followed by spas and recreation centers (39.2%); greenhouses at 15.5% and fish farming at one location using 0.4%.

Geothermal heat pumps are installed at three locations. There are 20 spas including nine recreational centers. Individual space heating is used in five locations. Greenhouses using geothermal waters for heating grow flowers and vegetables for the domestic market and for export to Croatia. A planned project is for drilling five wells for district heating in Bijeljina in the Pannonian Basin.

The use for individual space heating: 6.73 MWt and 114.08 TJ/yr;
for greenhouse heating; 1.51 MWt and 39.41 TJ/yr;
for fish farming; 0.09 MWt and 1.1 TJ/yr;
for bathing and swimming; 13.21 MWt and 99.62 TJ/yr;
and for geothermal heat pumps; 0.1555 MWt and 1.15 TJ/yr;

for a total of 21.696 MWt and 255.36 TJ/yr
