Turkey has already superseded its 2023 target for installed geothermal capacity, prompting an upward revision of the 2030 target to 4,000 megawatts (MW), General Directorate of Renewable Energy (YEGM) head Oğuz Can said on April 11.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development  (EBRD) has mobilized a 5 million euros of loan from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF) for the early stage development of the Prosin-Dikili geothermal power plant near the coastal town of Dikili in the western Turkish province of İzmir, EBRD has said.

Kenya and Turkey have exceeded forecasts for harnessing geothermal energy, but other developing countries, including Indonesia and the Philippines, are lagging behind on leveraging the renewable power source, a new analysis shows.
