Description
The project is aiming to promote early stage development, strategy planning, capacity building, networking and awareness of geothermal utilisation, to increase possibility of utilisation of geothermal resources, energy security, savings and quality of life in Oradea. The main objective is to increase geothermal education, knowledge and awareness of possible utilisation of geothermal resources in Oradea. Pre-Feasibility Study of Geothermal District Heating will achieve: -Re-evaluation and update on the production potential of the Oradea geothermal resource. -Increase of awareness of the local authorities, as well as the public, of the potential and benefits of sustainable geothermal utilization in the city and surrounding communities. -Evaluation of the potential increase of geothermal utilization. The beneficiaries of the program are the municipality of Oradea and its citizens, policy makers, authorities. The partnership at project level will facilitate the transfer of knowledge, experiences and best practices.

Summary of bilateral results
Both the donor project partner and the project partner in the beneficiary country (NAMR) had a crucial contribution and involvement to/in the study, by drafting, together with the PP, the Pre-Feasibility Study report, based on data access and process provided by NAMR. On-site visits and data collection, final meetings, seminars and results dissemination have been closely and jointly organized. These bilateral relations will be further strengthened by increased cooperation in the area of geothermal capacity building and by sharing results regarding geothermal utilisation, increasing knowledge and mutual understanding of geothermal options and possibilities.
