In 2007, the first considerations were made as to how the municipal company could add energy generation to its existing business area of energy distribution. It was clear that base load-capable energy generation was needed in order to supply health resorts, sanatoriums and hotels with heat all year round. Power generation should also run as evenly as possible throughout the year. It was concluded that the best option was a biomass-based combined heat and power plant that utilized as much of the heat as possible. Gammel Engineering was entrusted with the development of the business model, the system and approval planning, the tendering and award procedure as well as the implementation planning of the combined heat and power plant and the heating network, the project management and construction management as well as the quality assurance and monitoring of the implementation.

Once again this year, we had a wonderful internal Christmas party together. A big thank you goes to our entertainment manager Sonja Eichstätter for organizing the evening.
Healthy and motivated employees are the foundation of a successful company - especially in economically challenging times. The "Healthy companies in the district of Kelheim" network, in which nine regional companies have joined forces to establish occupational health management (OHM) not as a short-term measure, but as a sustainable and systematic process, follows precisely this claim.
What great news! We are incredibly proud and delighted that, together with our partner IWR GmbH, we have been awarded the planning contract for a 12 MW seawater heat pump including seawater extraction and a biomass heating plant as part of the cross-border UNITED HEAT project.
