位于慕尼黑东部的瓦特斯泰滕提议的地热供暖项目已经取得进展，已经获得了在魏森费尔德和高速公路附近购买一块土地的批准，用于建立钻井设备。然而，项目的融资仍然是最大的挑战。为此，经济部长胡伯特·艾万格已经承诺支持地热项目。

瓦特斯泰滕和格拉斯布伦的市政府已经承诺参与地热项目，而哈尔和佐尔宁丁仍有加入的选择。瓦特斯泰滕市议会已于2022年中旬批准了执行地热项目的基本决议。两个市政府计划在秋季成立的合资公司希望在钻井失败的情况下，国家担保能提供一些风险保护。

格拉斯布伦市长克劳斯·科内德尔已经收到艾万格部长对请求的肯定回应。他与瓦特斯泰滕市长莱昂哈德·斯皮茨奥一起计划在一封联合信中强调对部门援助的请求。

根据斯皮茨奥市长在之前的一份声明中提到，预计该项目需要总投资7500万欧元。单靠市政府无法资助这个项目，需要投资者的支持。

科内德尔认为，如果国家提供担保基金，承担的风险是可控的。根据瓦特斯泰滕的地震研究所得到的大量地下数据，不太可能出现钻井失败的情况。拥有担保基金的好处不言而喻-它将帮助市政府获得更多资金推进地热项目。

根据之前的一份报道，瓦特斯泰滕提议的地热项目的生产阶段计划在2025年至2026年开始。然而，供热网络的扩展可能需要更长时间，可能要等到2030年。

Theproposed geothermal heating project in Vaterstetten, in the east of Munich, has been progressing with the acquisition of  a piece of land near Weißenfeld and the autobahn on which the derrick is to be erected. However, financing of the project remains to be the biggest challenge. To this end, Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger has already promised to support the geothermal project.

Themunicipalities of Vaterstetten and Grasbrunn have already committed to participating in the geothermal project, while Haar and Zorneding still have the option of joining. A basic resolution for the execution of the geothermal project wasapproved by the municipal council of Vaterstettenin mid-2022. The joint company between the two municipalities, which is to be founded in the autumn, is hoping that a state guarantee can provide some risk protection in the case of a failed drilling.

Grasbrunn’sMayor Klaus Korneder had already received an affirmative response from Minister Aiwanger regarding the request. Along with the mayor of Vaterstetten, Leonhard Spitzauer, he is now planning to underline a request for assistance in a joint letter to the Ministry.

Ina previous statement,Mayor Spitzauer mentioned that a total investment of EUR 75 million is anticipated to be needed for the project. The municipality alone cannot fund this, and will be needing investors.

Kornederbelieves that the State will be taking on a manageable risk should it grant a guarantee fund. With substantial subsurface data on Vaterstetten based on seismic studies, failure of drilling is not expected. The benefits having a guarantee fund cannot be overstated – it will help the municipalities in securing even more funding to advance the geothermal project.

Accordingto a previous release,the production phase of the proposed geothermal project in Vaterstetten is planned to start by 2025 t0 2026. However, expansion of the district heating network is likely to take more time and may have to wait until 2030.
