ISTANBUL, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Enel (ENEI.MI) has held preliminary talks with Turkey-based Dekar Enerji over a geothermal power partnership but no decision has been reached, the Italian utility said on Friday.

Turkish newspapers reported on Friday Enel had decided to build a geothermal power plant in Turkey with privately held Dekar to produce 300 megawatts of electricity over the course of five years.

"Enel had preliminary talks. No decision has been taken. There is nothing concrete so far," said a spokeswoman for Enel.

Turkey has rich untapped geothermal reserves, while its energy sector has been a large target for foreign investors, including Germany's RWE (RWEG.DE), E.ON (EONGn.DE) and Verbund (VERB.VI). (Reporting by Stephen Jewkes in Milan; writing by Thomas Grove; editing by Simon Jessop)
