Summary
Berlin’s district heating utility sees geothermal becoming a major renewable heat source, targeting 70 MWth by 2035 and up to 250 MWth by 2045.
The district heating utility of Berlin, Germany, BEW Berliner Energie und Wärme has outlined an ambitious role for geothermal energy in its long-term heat decarbonisation strategy, with a pathway that could see geothermal capacity reach up to 250 MWth by 2045.
The plans form part of BEW’s updated decarbonisation roadmap, which charts how Germany’s largest district heating network will transition away from coal and fossil fuels. While geothermal remains subject to exploration success, the technology has emerged as one of the utility’s most important local renewable heat options.
Serving around 700,000 households and thousands of commercial and public buildings, BEW plans to invest approximately EUR 3.5 billion by 2030 to transform Berlin’s heat supply.
