Geothermal energy in the Palatinate: Future project starts in Rülzheim!

Geothermal energy in the Palatinate: Future project starts in Rülzheim!

Rülzheim, Deutschland - In Rülzheim the signs stand on geothermal energy! The municipal council unanimously decided to initiate a target deviation procedure in order to enable the use of a property west of the water tower for geothermal studies. This area, which has previously been declared as a "priority area for agriculture" and "regional green area", could play an important role in future energy supply. The municipal administration emphasizes that despite the investigations, no final decision was made to promote geothermal. The analysis is to be carefully and publicly accompanied in order to achieve well-founded results, as the Energie is planning to reactivate the geothermal power plant in Landau. This could already provide the first warmth for households in Landau in March or April 2025, such as the SWR Aktuell

At the same time, BASF is collected in Ludwigshafen to supply its production facilities with sustainable heat and thus actively contribute to the heat transition. In 2025, the cost of heating oil and gas for private households is to increase, which increases urgency to open up alternative energy sources. Daimler Truck also examines possible locations for geothermal projects in Wörth in order to secure your own heat supply. The focus is on being able to combine security and efficiency - a topic that is also intensively discussed in the municipality of Rülzheim.
