Considerable investment will be required to plan and execute exploratory drilling and develop new geothermal wells by 2030. Geothermal energy, while promising, carries several technical risks that can deter investors. If the geothermal reservoir fails to produce sufficient output, the investment is lost, making financing unpredictable and challenging.
With up to 4,000 wells needed by 2030 in Germany only, municipalities and operators require a reliable, experienced partner to assess and mitigate the risks. Munich Re`s specialized technical experts have over 20 years of experience in geology and exploration and are continuously expanding their expertise in this complex field.
