| Abstract |
In the meantime deep seated geothermal projects do not fail predominantly due to technical and geological problems. It appears more and more that the success of geothermal energy generation projects depends strongly on qualified answers in the field of risk management, financing models, project organization, profitability and contract law. As the first large auditing, tax and legal consulting enterprise in Germany R?dl & Partner was engaged early on with the challenges of development, implementation and financing, as well as finding special public and private solutions for the utilization of deep-seated geothermal energy. In these areas we have developed significant successful standards for the whole sector. R?dl & Partner is also a member of the Geothermal Energy Advisory Board of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and consulting the World Bank. |
