Summary
The state of Niederösterreich (Lower Austria) in Austria has officially started a research and exploration campaign that seeks to identify and develop deep geothermal resources for heating. The initiative will be under the partnership between the state of Lower Austria and power company EVN.
At a press conference to signal the start of the project, Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner said that the plan is to put up the first deep geothermal plant by 2030, and a second plant by 2035.
