Centurk explained that the increase in the volume of production last year came as a result of government support, and the presence of well thought out and planned projects for many years ago.
As geothermal energy is one of the most important alternative and renewable energy sources, it is a high thermal energy of natural origin.
It is stored in magma in the ground, and is used mainly to generate electricity in Turkey and the world.
