German drilling company Daldrup & Söhne Aktiengesellschaft (Daldrup & Söhne) had been awarded the contract for the drilling work. The application for a mining permit for the geothermal heating project was made back in May 2023. If drilling is successful, a central heating plant will be built at the site. According to the GfA, the drilling site close to the waste incineration plant offers optimal conditions for drilling of the wells, as well as the construction and operations of the heating plant.
