Summary
German municipal utility Stadtwerke Muenchen (SWM) is planning to build another geothermal plant in Munich that will supply heat to about 75,000 people.
The plant will be SWM's seventh geothermal project in the region and will be located on the area of the Michaelibad in the southeast of the Bavarian metropolis.
SWM operates six geothermal plants and a district heating network of about 900 km (559.2 mi). By 2040 at the latest, the municipal utility aims to supply Munich with climate-neutral district heating. To achieve this, SWM relies primarily on deep geothermal energy.
