Geopfalz GmbH & Co. KG is a subsidiary of Stadtwerke Speyer GmbH and Stadtwerke Schifferstadt, established in 2023 as the first inter-municipal project company for deep geothermal energy development in Rhineland-Palatinate. The company coordinates the agEnS (AGENS) project, a €44.4 million federally-funded initiative to demonstrate innovative deep geothermal extraction techniques in the Upper Rhine region. The project employs branched boreholes from a main well to reduce subsurface pressure, minimize induced seismicity risks, and improve reservoir productivity. Geopfalz plans to construct a geothermal heating plant to supply sustainable, carbon-neutral heat to district heating networks in Speyer and Schifferstadt, with completion and operational status targeted following successful drilling and permits. The company integrates established technologies from the oil and gas industry with geoscientific research partnerships from leading German universities.
