“Geothermal sources could supply Germany’s electricity needs 600 times over,” said Werner Bussmann, CEO of the German Geothermal Association.
About 150 geothermal power plant projects are in the pipeline representing an investment of 4 billion euros. The best geothermal generation opportunities in Germany are located in southern Bavaria — where water of temperatures of 140°C or hotter can be found 5,000 meters below the ground. [link]
