A new phase has been achieved in the Simav Geothermal-Based Greenhouse Organized Industrial Zone (TDIOSB) project in Kutahya, Türkiye. In the area where construction equipment and personnel from the Kutahya Provincial Special Administration are working, leveling of the roads between the planned parcels has been completed. Following this work, the tender process for infrastructure construction in the area was carried out.

The Simav TD?OSB project, established on a total area of 1,185,000 square meters, has allocated 828,502 square meters for technological greenhouses and 69,158 square meters as parcels designated for industrial facilities relevant to the specialized focus. The process of this significant investment is being coordinated by Simav District Governor Bünyamin Karaloglu.

With this new step taken in the Simav Organized Greenhouse Zone, the project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. The tender meeting held in the District Governor’s Meeting Room was attended by District Governor Karaloglu, Simav Mayor Kübra Tekel Aktulun, Simav Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Seref Kazcioglu, and Zafer OSB Director Göksel Ilgaz.

Seven different companies participated in the tender, which determined the firms that will undertake the infrastructure work. According to the tender specifications, the completion of the drinking water, wastewater, telecommunications, and electrical infrastructure of the Geothermal-Based Greenhouse OSB is planned for the last quarter of 2025.

Just about a month ago, the decision was made to drill a total of seven production wells and two reinjection wells to support the proposed geothermal greenhouse operations in Simav. The new TDIOS carries on the legacy of Simav an one of the pioneering locations showcasing the use of geothermal resources for greenhouse cultivation.
