There is no installed geothermal generating capacity as for December 2009.

 

 

 

Saffarzadeh et al. (2010) cite a small improvement in the utilization of geothermal fluids for bathing, capacity 41.583 MWt and 1,063.72 TJ/yr annual utilization, 2005 figures were 30.1 MWt and 752 .3 TJ/yr. New resorts have been constructed and older ones updated resulting in increased flows and capacity driven by joint ventures from the private and public sectors.

Ground source heat pumps have been installed as demonstration projects in five different regions of the country in order to evaluate the efficiency under different climatic conditions.

The installed capacity is 0.025 MWt and the annual energy use is 0.46 TJ/yr. The total is 41.608 MWt and 1,064.18 TJ/yr.
