Summary

The geothermal heating plant in the Lankow district of Schwerin, Germany has officially started operations. The commissioning was marked by an inauguration ceremony where Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Minister-President Manuela Schwesig were in attendance.

We had reported closely on the progress of this landmark district heating project, from the first announcement of drilling back in 2018 to the horizontal drilling of the brine lines and the announcement of the target date for commissioning.

The Schwerin heating plant of Stadtwerke Schwerin utilizes geothermal water pumped from a depth of 1300 meters. This water is initially at a temperature of 56 degrees Celsius. The heat is transferred to an intermediate circuit before the temperature is increased using heat pumps. This is then supplied to the district heating system by which it provides the heating needs of 2000 households, or about 15% of the district heating customers in Schwerin.
