A bank and a construction company from Japan have joined Eavor.
A group from the Far East recently visited the Goethermie drilling site and the town hall.
Geretsried – While the drill bits are constantly rotating, the geothermal power plant in Gelting is taking shape.
As reported, electricity will be generated at the plant in the fourth quarter.
A group from Japan recently took a picture of the drilling site, accompanied by representatives of the Eavor Group.
Mayor Michael Müller also received the well-traveled guests in the town hall.
The Japanese want to get a local impression
“Our delegation was able to be a guest in the city council hall for an intensive exchange,” says a statement from Eavor.
The company wants to promote geothermal energy in Gelting this year with an innovative system, the so-called Eavor Loops.
The group was led by the project company's two managers, Daniel Mölk and Yuta Kano.
Also taking part in the meeting were representatives of the Canadian parent company John Redfern, Shyamli Mohamed and Jason Rakochy, as well as Svantje Schade from the financial consulting firm Green Giraffe and Jan Dühring from Geretsrieder Stadtwerke.
“This time the guests of honor were the ladies and gentlemen from JBIC from Japan,” writes Eavor, “who made the long journey to get an on-site impression of the world’s first Eavor loop for heat and electricity.
The abbreviation “JBIC” stands for the “Japan Bank for International Cooperation”, which has joined Eavor.
Geretsried will become a blueprint for many municipalities and their path to the heat transition.

“In the town hall we were able to learn a lot about Geretsried and its people,” the statement says.
“The mayor took us on a short journey through the history of the city.” The Eavor managing directors Mölk and Kano reported on the current status of the project and highlighted how “grateful both are that the city and the citizens have supported this geothermal energy project received and supported so openly.”
Mölk: “We are proud to be making history here in Geretsried together with our Japanese project partner.
Geretsried will thus become a blueprint for many municipalities and their path to the heat transition.” Eavor also announces that the Japanese construction company Kajima has joined the Canadian parent company.
Kajima – founded in 1840 – is one of the oldest and largest construction companies in Japan, based in Tokyo.
