The municipal heat transition is gaining momentum, and municipal utilities are more than ever at the heart of this transformation. Against this backdrop, this year’s International Geothermal Investment Conference (IGC Invest) in Frankfurt is dedicated to one central question: How can geothermal heating solutions for cities be financed reliably?
Over two conference days, IGC Invest will focus on concrete projects as well as hands-on support and financing models, combining national and international perspectives in presentations and panel discussions. The conference is aimed at decision-makers who want to move from vision to economically viable projects. Municipal utilities, local authorities, project developers, investors and banks can network at the conference in order to jointly develop financing structures that make geothermal projects viable both technically and economically.
