Why should public sector consider geothermal heating?

Municipalities, cities, welfare districts, and other public entities with real estate can gain numerous benefits from switching to geothermal energy.

  • Many public actors are looking for ways to save without compromising on service levels. Especially in areas with expensive district heating, geothermal energy will rapidly reduce energy costs.
  • Rapid emission reductions - geothermal can reduce a property's emissions by almost 100%.
  • With geothermal heat, the energy self-sufficiency of a property increases significantly.
  • If geothermal heat is not feasible for a property, for example because of groundwater areas, other technological solutions such as water-to-air heat pumps can be used as an alternative.

Geothermal heat as a service - benefits for the public operator

The public operator can avoid large initial costs and risks by choosing geothermal heat as a service, allowing for smooth integration of this sustainable energy.

Risk-free and predictable

  • No complicated and long investment process needed.
  • Get geothermal heat with a simple monthly fee, just like district heating.
  • Transparent pricing helps you easily plan and budget for future geothermal costs.

Cost savings

  • Significant savings without compromising on services.
  • In expensive district heating areas, savings usually start to accrue from the first year.

Environmental benefits

  • Geothermal energy offers a quick way for public operators to reduce emissions.
  • Emission savings can be as high as 70-100% compared to the baseline.
  • Option for ground cooling, which improves working conditions in the building especially during the hot summer months.

Energy self-sufficiency

  • Geothermal heat is produced on your own plot. This increases the energy self-sufficiency of the property.
  • The heating system can be implemented as a hybrid solution, leaving, for example, the existing heating system as a back-up to compensate for heating peaks.
  • If the overall solution includes an on-site solar power plant, part of the electricity required by the property will be generated emission-free from the site.

Frequently asked questions

The amount of savings depends a lot on the starting point. If district heating is expensive, the savings potential is very high.

Where the customer makes the investment themselves, typical risks include incorrect sizing of the system, correct installation and failure to operate at the calculated efficiency. When the customer buys as a service, he does not have to worry about these issues, as the risks are borne by Geonova.

Yes. Hybrid solutions, where a heat pump system is installed alongside the existing heat source, are possible.
