Geothermal Country Notes

FYR Macedonia
Research has shown that there are 18 geothermal fields in Macedonia, with more than 50 thermal springs, boreholes and wells with temperatures of 20-79°C. The resource, utilised for spas, greenhouse heating and space heating before and during the 1980s, suffered a great setback during the collapse of the economy in the 1990s. Several projects failed completely and at the present time those that remain need financial support prior to the re-establishment of a viable geothermal industry. It is hoped that in the near term an atlas of Macedonia's geothermal potential can be compiled and a strategy for the country's geothermal usage be formulated.
