Daldrup & Söhne AG receives order from the Netherlands for 20 million Euro for geothermal heating plant project

Oberhaching / Ascheberg, March 12, 2020 - The drilling technology and geothermal energy group Daldrup & Söhne (ISIN DE0007830572) has received an order from Aardwarmte Combinatie Luttelgeest B.V., Luttelgeest (ACL) for three geothermal boreholes with drilling lengths of up to 2,440 meters, as well as the construction of a heating plant and a heat network. The current order backlog of the Daldrup Group thus amounts to approx. 51 million Euros.

The contractor is GERF B.V., a company of the Daldrup & Soehne Group operating in the Netherlands. The drilling depth of the production well will be about 1,800 m. The temperature of the extracted water is expected to be just below 80 Celsius, with a flow rate of about 90 litres/second. The installation of the well site in the municipality of Noordoostpolder has been completed and the drilling rig has already been fully erected. The start of the first well is therefore imminent. The project should be completed with the completion of the heating system in spring 2021.

In this project Daldrup & Söhne AG has once again successfully introduced its Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) concept. This integrated insurance model includes, among other things, an exploration risk insurance. Thus, it is possible to make such geothermal drilling and energy projects financeable with debt capital in an early project phase and to keep the equity capital requirement of the client low already in the exploration phase.

The new customer ACL is a Dutch greenhouse operator that has joined forces in this project. After the client Nature's Heat, ACL now also supplies the connected greenhouse complexes almost completely renewable from geothermal heat. The planned heating capacity is approximately 18 MW_therm.
