The article considers topical issues of the state of resources and prospects of use of geothermal energy taking into account foreign experience in the republic as one of the types of renewable energy source, connected, first of all, with depleted fossil fuel reserves and dependence on imports (mainly oil and gas imports). Uzbekistan has huge resources and reserves of geothermal resources, the projected resources of which at accessible depths (up to 5-6 km) are 4-6 times higher than those of hydrocarbons. The high economic efficiency of geothermal resources is determined by their thermal potential, which can be achieved by developing integrated schemes for each geothermal field. All this makes it possible to consider geothermal waters of the republic as the basis of development of geothermal energy in the republic.
