Why work at Enex Power Germany?

Counter question:
Why not?

Despite its enormous growth, the Hörmann Group has always retained its medium-sized character. And this includes first gaining experience itself in order to then be able to provide its customers with the best possible service.

With this in mind, Enex Power Germany also initially carried out its own deep drilling work and research projects in order to gain the "in-depth" experience that is essential for good consulting services.

Based on this, Enex Power Germany offers its experience and skills in project development and implementation of complex, multidisciplinary energy projects.

Eavor Loop^TM Geretsried

Initial talks started right back in 2019. Enex Power Germany was appointed project manager for the world's first “Eavor Loop” project in Geretsried near Munich from the outset and in this role is responsible for the coordination, control, organization and execution of various planning tasks, including the awarding of contracts for above-ground trades for Eavor Erdwärme Geretsried GmbH. The pioneering geothermal concept as an underground heat exchanger with parallel operation of two drilling rigs opens up multiple interface issues and numerous new technical and planning challenges.

"Andreas Gahr provided us with great support with his in-depth knowledge of the details on site. As a converter and mediator between the worlds he and his team were and are an important asset in our project. The Eavor-Loop^TM technology, which means that in addition to two deep drilling rigs in simultaneous operation, we also have a power plant and a hot water circuit under construction, and all this on a difficult subsurface, brings us new challenges every day. We very much welcome being able to solve these with Enex Power and Andreas Gahr in particular."
Daniel Moelk, Eavor Erdwärme Geretsried

Vaterstetten

On the basis of the existing preliminary geological plans, an economic feasibility study was first carried out to determine whether the geothermal borehole could be operated economically with the planned expansion of the heating network - also against the background of the heat prices to be represented to the end customers. The next step was to prepare the feasibility study for the BEW funding program and the transformation plan for the existing district heating network in the municipality of Vaterstetten. Based on this calculation, four municipalities founded their own geothermal energy production company, GeoEnergieMünchenOst GmbH.

"Fortunately, our project gained significant momentum with the preparation of the profitability calculation. Based on Enex Power's project experience, comprehensible input parameters were defined that could be explained to all parties involved. The sensitivities were also used to show and explain to each local council the effects of a reduced discovery or increased drilling costs or, in particular, higher own consumption costs. Enex Power prepared the feasibility study for the application for Module 2 and the transformation plan for the Vaterstetten district heating network in a perfect manner. Hence it was a logic consequence that we have now commissioned Enex Power for the statement on the preliminary EIA assessment; and here, too, we received approval from the Bergamt Südbayern shortly after submission."
Tobias Aschwer, climate protection manager for the municipality of Vaterstetten

Bei dem Projekt Waldweihnacht hat Enex Power die Projektgesellschaft ab Stunde Null bei der Einholung der geologischen Gutachten und der Bohrdetailplanung begleitet, die Genehmigungsanträge entworfen von Aufsuchungserlaubnisbeantragung über UVP-Vorpüfung und Hauptbetriebsplan mit diversen Sonderbetriebsplänen. Die Vorplanungsphase wurde mit einer technischen und wirtschaftlichen Machbarkeitsstudie abgeschlossen, die auch als Grundlage für die BEW-Förderung diente. Neben der Bohrplatzplanung und Begleitung des Vergabeverfahrens zum Bohrplatzbau war Enex Power ebenfalls involviert im Vergabeverfahren des Bohrunternehmers und unterstützte bei der Gestaltung des Bohrvertrags. Während der gesamten Bohrphase der ersten Bohrung und eines Side Tracks war Enex Power als Projektsteuerer für die Tiefbohrarbeiten involviert.

„Bei dem Projekt Waldweihnacht ist es gelungen, innerhalb eines Jahres von Aufsuchungs­erlaubnis zu Hauptbetriebsplan und Förderzusage zum Beginn des Bohrplatzbaus zu kommen. Diese ganzen Arbeiten hierzu wurden durch Enex Power erbracht. Während der Bohrarbeiten hat Enex Power die ganzen Abwägungsprozesse zwischen Geologen, externen bohrtechnischen Beratern, dem Bohrunternehmer und uns als Auftraggeber moderiert und geleitet. Obwohl dieses Modell der Projektsteuerung aller Beteiligten während der Tiefbohrarbeit nicht immer üblich ist, hat sich diese Moderation zwischen den Gewerken durch Projektsteuerer, die nicht schwerpunktmäßig Geologe oder Bohrtechniker sind, durchaus im Ablauf bewährt. Dies spricht für die Qualität der Enex, auch in schwierigen Situationen die Ruhe zu bewahren und die Sachverhalte sachlich und für alle Beteiligten verständlich aufs Wesentliche runterzubrechen, bzw. allen Beteiligten die Vor- und Nachteile der Handlungsoptionen nahezulegen bis hin zu einer klaren Entscheidungsfindung. Als wir nach der Nichtfündigkeit der Enex Power mitteilten, dass wir auf „neue Pferde“ wechseln wollen, hat Enex noch an der Bereitstellung aller für die Neubewertung der Geologie erforderlichen Informationen und Dokumente für diverse Geologen mitgewirkt, was einem direkten Übergang ohne Wissensverlust sehr zuträglich war. Auch wenn wir das Vertragsverhältnis nach der zunächst eingetretenenen Nichtfündigkeit beendeten, so sind wir mit der erbrachten Leistung der Enex Power dennoch mehr als zufrieden.“
Hans Wimmer, Contract Manager der Naturwärme Kirchweidach-Halsbach GmbH & Co. KG

The renewable energy sector has developed - not only in Germany - into a significant economic factor with good prospects for decades to come. The portfolio of Enex Power Germany focuses on making base load-capable energy sources available and has been supporting highly demanding projects with specific know-how and in-depth expertise for almost 20 years in order to successfully realize all those projects that require this in-depth experience.

The story of success: From one-man business to global player

Hans Hörmann, born in 1928, laid the foundation stone for his company in 1955, which today has around 3000 employees in 13 countries worldwide.

Lightning protection systems, sirens to warn the public about different hazards, environmental measurement systems, railroad and mobile communication, innovative intralogistic systems, components for commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery and a couple of other topics: The Hörmann Group's manifold fields of activity require extensive and comprehensive know-how.

Andreas Gahr
Banking professional and business economist with a focus on innovation and technology management, financing, human resources and organization.

Andreas Gahr worked as a project manager for sustainable power plants (wind farms, but also combined heat and power plants) and raised finance for new projects in Germany and abroad during his first years in the industry, when the EEG was still called the Electricity Feed-In Act.
In 2003/2004, he obtained several exploration permits for deep geothermal energy projects for his then employer. In this context, Andreas Gahr accompanied the geothermal projects in Duerrnhaar and Kirchstockach throughout the entire implementation period from the idea to full completion of drilling and commissioning of the ORC power generation system.
He has been working for Enex Power since 2010. Due to his long experience with deep geothermal energy ("long" also means that he has experienced geothermal energy projects over their full length of several years), he is a sought-after contact when it comes to project management services. The span goes from feasibility studies, approval issues, support for exploration activities (planning, support, award procedures including tendering and award of drilling services), preparation of profitability calculations for deep geothermal energy projects.

Knowing how the wind blows: Experts for your project

Since the 1970s, the Hörmann Group has been involved in the use of non-fossil energy sources, especially for projects in areas without access to a functioning power grid. Since 2001, some of the subsidiaries have been working specifically in the areas of photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, biogas and, in particular, deep geothermal energy.

In the field of deep geothermal energy with the topics of economic efficiency, geology, drilling technology, power generation and district heat extraction, Enex Power Germany has been the subsidiary that focused on consulting and project management services in this highly complex specialist area from a very early stage since 2006.
