The drilling for the project in Neuruppin will be carried out by Daldrup & Söhne, a specialist in drilling technology and geothermal solutions based in Unterhaching. According to Daldrup & Söhne, the project's volume is approximately five million euros. The companies anticipate a temperature of around 70°C at the depth of the drilling. To feed this energy into the district heating network, high-temperature heat pumps will elevate it to the desired level. The aim is for the municipal utilities to generate a heat quantity of 76 GWh per year, equivalent to supplying approximately 3,000 average four-person households. The geothermal drilling in Neuruppin is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2024, as reported by Daldrup & Söhne. The Neuruppin municipal utilities were the first to receive approval for the investment grant from the Federal Funding for Efficient Heating Networks. Neuruppin is one of the few cities in the northern half of the country that has been u
