Quotes: "Despite an original rejection of the planned geothermal power plant in Dettenheim by the local council, negotiations with Deutsche Erdwärme GmbH in the community are now being resumed."

"With a total of 13 votes in favor to only 3 against, the convened municipal council decided to pursue the planned geothermal project again. The project receives encouragement particularly from the mayor Ute Goebelbecker (free voters). According to Göbelbecker, the council had already dealt with the use of geothermal energy in the community in 2020 and had always included the population. She emphasizes that uncertainties are understandable, but in the sense of the successful energy transition and a secure energy supply in the future, further steps are necessary."

The example shows that communities are involved at a very early stage in the process of extracting raw materials under the Federal Mining Act.
