Sea thermal energy: Athos is waiting for the green light. Bavaria's Environment Minister Thorsten Glauber is committed to significantly accelerating the expansion of all renewable energies.
The city of Tegernsee, whose political territory the lake is part of, has already given a positive vote. A permit under water law as well as licensing agreements with the water body owners - the Free State - are required. “Since the thermal use of sea water has been used with positive experiences in other countries such as Switzerland and Austria, we see no reason for this permit to not be granted in Bavaria,” says Athos CEO Stephan Heller.
