European geothermal activity has been well established in Italy (a member of the European Community)- high enthalpy sources, 450 MWe on line or under construction; and Iceland (not a member of the European Community)- large scale, low enthalpy, direct utilisation. In the recent past, several new sites have been under intense investigation and development. The include the Paris and Aquitaine Basins in France, the Milos and Misyros Islands and Macedonia in Greece the Latera reservoir in Central Italy, the Central sedimentary area of Spain and the hot dry rock prospects in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The ultimate purpose of the European Community and the reseach and developement efforts of the menber states is to recover 50 million tons of oil equivalent (T.O.E.) through various forms of geothermal energy, amounting to 5 percent of the total energy consumption and savings of $10 Million in import reductions at current oil prices. Europe is a continent containig most type of geothermal systems, such as geopressured, hot dry rocks and high and low enthalpy resources..
