Summary
Local utility company Stadtwerke Schwerin is now planning to put into operation the geothermal heating plant in the Lankow district of Schwerin, Germany by June of this year. This will be almost a year after the original date of commissioning of the plant, with delays caused by the high sediment content of the thermal fluids.
Plans for the Schwerin geothermal were first announced back in 2018. By the end of April 2023, an inauguration ceremony was held Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Minister-President Manuela Schwesig were in attendance to signal the start of operations of the heating plant.
The heating plant will utilize geothermal water pumped from 1300 meters depth, which initially at a temperature of 56 degrees Celsius. The heat is then transferred to an intermediate circuit before the temperature is increased using heat pumps. This is 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.
