Germany's Rising Heat Costs Highlight Geothermal's Edge
Heating costs in Germany have increased significantly, making geothermal systems a more attractive option for long-term stability.
According to an analysis by DER SPIEGEL, the national average cost of heating has reached approximately EUR 12 cents per kWh, a sharp increase from 2021.
- Average heat consumption per square meter has decreased by roughly 10 percent due to efficiency upgrades and milder winters.
- Despite this, households still face higher bills overall.
- District heating, once considered a clean and convenient option, is now one of the most expensive systems.
Although the intensity of district heating has improved, averaging 166 g/kWh compared to 201 g/kWh for natural gas, geothermal systems offer a more stable alternative.
Geothermal systems - shallow and deep - offer the long-term stability that fossil fuels cannot.
About 32 percent of multi-family homes now rely on district heating networks, highlighting their importance in urban energy supply.
