The project of Taufkirchen in Bavaria, Germany is currently preparing its project site for the construction of the power plant and is evaluating financing options for the expected investment of $39 million.

In a release on its activities in the German market, geothermal drilling company Daldrup & Söhne AG provides an update on its Taufkirchen project in the South of Germany.

The project is a joint venture of Geysir Europe (Daldrup owns 75% in this company), the Swiss utility Axpo AG (35%), local utility Oberhaching (19.75%) and bioEnergie Taufkirchen (0.25%).

The project currently removes the drilling pad and prepares the site for the construction of a power plant, which is expected to be a Kalina binary plant.

There are ongoing discussions with potential financing partners for the financing of the construction, which is expected to be around EUR 30 million ($39 million).
