A wide range of temperatures was observed in the underground water of the Cambrian deposits of Kaliningrad region. The geothermal gradients also vary widely from minimum values in the south of the Kaliningrad region to the maximum values in the northeast of the region (Novoserebryanskoe, East Gorinskoe fields). No correlation has been found between temperature changes and the age of the crystalline basement, its composition, thickness of crust blocks and gravitational fields is typical for the Cambrian deposits of the region.
The possibility of use the thermal energy waters of the region for the national economic purposes is discussed. With this aim the values of formation temperatures were adjusted to a depth of 1500 m. In the Kaliningrad region they can be used to heat the soil, in animal agriculture, domestic hot water service and greenhouse farming.

Key words: formation temperature, geothermal gradient, Cambrian deposits, groundwater, thermal energy water, Kaliningrad region.
