Geothermal energy sources in Albania are estimated as warm water sources of the underground layers of the earth, which have a sufficient temperature to be used as a source of energy. The area of Elbasan is a special area because it has a significant number of sources with geothermal potential. This area, as part of the Kruja geothermal area, has a length of 180 km and a width of 4-5 km. The current average flow of thermal water is about 15-18 l/s and temperatures vary from 55-65℃. It is estimated that the resources have specific reserves of 39.6 GJ/m2 and potential power to install 2760 kW. It is about thermal sources with low enthalpy and maximum temperature up to 80℃. The emergence of hot water on the surface shows that these thermal springs are mainly located near the result of intense tectonic activity in the seismically active parts. The geothermal regime of the geological structures in the area of Elbasan is conditioned by the heat flow density, the geothermal gradient and the distribution of the temperature field at different depths of these sources, closely related to the lithology of the geological structures, as well as to the hydrodynamics of underground waters.
