Though detailed information regarding the outcome of the scale inhibition has not been reported, scale is claimed to now be minimal. The field is said to have a 100 MWe capacity, according to the results of feasibility studies recently completed and plans for an initial 30 MWe plant are being formulated. A third field with power generation potential is at Canakkale-Tuzla in northwest Anatolia. The first well was drilled there in 1982. A second well was drilled to 1020 metres.
Plans are to drill another well to test suspected deep resources.
To date, at least four other geothermal fields with electric power generating potential have been discovered and studied to varying degrees. The Turkish geothermists claim to have virtually overcome the consequences of scaling and corrosion in both high and low temperature wells, so we know that scientific research continues. Details regarding exploration for additional high enthalpy resources during the 1990-1994 period have not been supplied but judging by the boom in direct use of thermal waters, geothermal development appears to be a continuing government priority.
