Project news
We build for regional energy supply. What have we already achieved? Where are we now? What’s next?
With our project news we give you an overview of what is happening on the construction site as well as the next major project steps. At the moment it is not yet possible to visit the construction site. In summer we will open our visitor center and offer guided tours for groups. We cordially invite you to subscribe to our newsletter.
Thank you for your interest in the geothermal project in Gelting.

Planning of the exhibition in the former stable building
The reconstruction works in the stall building have started. On the upper floor, the former hay barn, we are planning an exhibition that will provide information about the project, the technology and the use of geothermal energy for the region. In addition, the changing room for the guided tours of the construction site will be built there.
The base plate for drilling site 1 is poured
After the drilling cellars for the 4 boreholes on Drilling Site 1 have been completed, the bottom plate is poured. It supports the drilling rig and collects surface water and liquids. This prevents liquids from leaking into the environment during drilling.

Construction of the drilling cellars at Drilling Site 1
The construction of drilling site 1 is progressing. The foundations for the 4 boreholes that will be started in the summer have been completed.
The earthworks for drilling site 2 have started
First, a level surface must be created to accommodate the drilling site for 4 boreholes. One borehole each from borehole site 1 and 2 will then be connected underground to form a loop.
