Danish geothermal heating developer Innargi has signed a usufruct agreement with the City of Poznan in Poland for two municipal plots where geothermal heating plants could be built in the future.
One site is located in the eastern part of Poznan, in Franów, in an undeveloped area behind a shopping center. The other is in the southern part of the city, in Staroleka, and its surroundings are primarily commercial and single-family homes.
There is a third plot of land where a geothermal heating plant could be built is located in Kopanino and is owned by project partner Veolia. Historically, a coal-fired heating plant operated in this area, which was shut down and demolished. A modern gas-fired heating plant was built on the freed-up land in 2022, and a geothermal installation could be built next to it.
The agreement follows seismic surveys conducted in Poznan in March 2025. Based on the results, as analyzed by specialists from Innargi, indications of a viable geothermal resource are promising. The geothermal heating project in Poznan has been made possible by a strategic partnership between Innargi and Veolia, announced in 2023.
