Today there are 59 thermal water spas in the country used for balneology, sports and recreation and as tourist centers. Thermal waters are also bottled by nine mineral water bottling companies. Space heating and electric power generation from geothermal energy is in the exploration stages. There are presently 25 wells in use within the Pannonian Basin, and with uses for heating greenhouses (4 wells), heating pig farms (3 wells), industrial process such as in leather and textile factories (2 wells), space heating (3 wells) and 13 wells for various uses in spas and for sport and recreation facilities. Outside the basin, geothermal water is used for space heating, greenhouse heating (raising flowers), a poultry farm, a textile workshop, a spa rehabilitation center and a hotel. Three other spas and rehabilitation centers also use geothermal heat, including heat pumps of 6 MWt, which uses water at 25oC, and in the carpet industry.

The various applications include:

20.9 MWt and 356 TJ/yr for space eating;
18.5 MWt and 128 TJ/yr for greenhouse heating;
6.4 MWt and 128 TJ/yr for fish and animal farming;
0.7 MWt and 10 TJ/yr for agricultural drying;
4.6 MWt and 58 TJ/yr for industrial process heating;
39.8 MWt and 647 TJ/yr for bathing and swimming;
9.9 MWt and 83 TJ/yr for geothermal heat pumps.

The total for the country is 100.8 MWt and 1,410 TJ/yr.
