Appropriate financial risk management is the fundament of a successful DGE project and has to be done carefully. In order to give project leaders a head start and a short overview of possible financial risk management of DGE projects the InterregNWE project DGE-ROLLOUT compiled the knowledge of other DGE projects in a report.
The aim of this report is to present an overview of different existing financial instruments that can be used by geothermal project developers, local/regional/national public authorities, and enterprises to fund DGE projects. It provides guidance for project planning, geological risk management, the decision of the right finance scheme and gives recommendations on how to improve the existing funds.
The available public support schemes are sorted by technology and market maturity, since not every support scheme suits the market needs, it is essential to choose the right scheme to overcome related subsequent costs. Innovative financing methods – a relatively new and promising support instrument that should attract private funding – will be described and further discussed.t
The report, compiled by Burcu Tasdemir and Martin Arndt from GD NRW is available here.
