Geothermal production: Electricity Up to now there are no electric power plants established on geothermal resources, but several investors are interested in prospecting for high enthalpy geothermal reservoirs for electric power generation. At least 10 feasibility studies have been done on the use of geothermal energy for electricity production. Source: Well test in Iklódböröce (Kujbus 2007) The best geological units for these purposes are mezozoic karstified and fractured carbonatic aquifers in the basement. Moreover there are some really god places for applying EGS technology. 15

Geothermal production: Direct heat (Tóth 2009) The annual thermal water production was around 85 Million m 3. (Hungarian Geological Survey 2002) The theoretical total thermal power capacity of these wells is 1,513 MW t. The effective utilized geothermal energy can be estimated at a level of 615 MW t. This obtains an assumed load factor of 40 %. The estimated thermal power applied in the field of: bathing and swimming 272 MW t agricultural 212 MW t district and space heating 119 MW t other users 12 MW t Heat exchanger in Hódmezővásárhely The growth is slowed in the last few years

Geothermal production: GSHP Geothermal heat pump sector has shown static or falling consumption in Hungary since 2010. The installed capacity is about 50 MW t. The actual number of installed units is more than 6,000. The largest unit was installed in Budapest of 1MW t with 180 BHE.
