Locations and Permits

Ruperti II Geothermal Permit Location

The Ruperti II geothermal permit has an area of 91 km² and includes most of the Waginger See.

Located on the southeast outskirts of Kirchanschöring, a four-cellar drill pad was constructed and is still intact, ready for further drilling.
Pad area approx. 6.000 m²
Cellar GTR2 was used to drill KIR-GT2 and KIR-GT2-ST1 boreholes.

RCR is an association of initially 16 and now 31 municipalities and towns in the four districts of Berchtesgadener Land, Traunstein, Altötting and Rosenheim, with the aim of putting the issue of “energy” back into the hands of the municipalities.
Construction of RCR’s own renewable energy generation plants and the sale of regional, renewable energy is also part of the RCR business model.
Headquarters are in Kirchanschöring.

RCR was selected as a project partner in the European Union's cross-border funding project Eneregio SOBOS for cross-border energy projects.
Objective was to establish a combined heat grid in the Berchtesgaden –Traunstein–Salzburg and Inn-Salzach region.
Project area is located geologically in the Upper Jurassic Malmkarst region, which allows for the hydrothermal utilization of deep geothermal energy.
This area has a high industrial density with as well as large heat sink potential (building stock in towns and villages, heat demand for agricultural food production, and heat demand for production and process heat for industry).
