BC’S First Geothermal Power Project Could Be Weeks From Drilling

4/20/2017

 
A recent article on the website theECOreport highlights CanGEA member Borealis's plans to begin British Columbia's first geothermal power project. Once operational, this geothermal industrial park will start by supplying the village of Valemont, BC with carbon free heat. As operations continue, it is anticipated that GeoPower will also supply the area with electricity.​
​
The project is anticipated to have three phases of development, described as follows:
  1. Park – Hot Pools, Greenhouse & CO2e Credits – A small-scale, local greenhouse and hot pools will be sustained naturally by the heat of the Earth. Geothermal energy can supply food security, jobs and boost tourism, all while creating CO2 credits instead of paying a carbon tax. We estimate that Phase 1 will generate 1,250 tonnes/yr of carbon credits.
  2. Cedarside GeoPark – 100 kW of power through the BC Hydro Net Metering Program, 1MW of power through the BC Hydro Community First Nations Standing Offer Program and heat supplied to GeoPark business customers. We estimate that Phase 2 will generate 19,000 tonnes/yr of carbon credits.
  3. Canoe Reach GeoPower – can sell 15 MW of power production through the BC Hydro Standing Offer program as well as provide ancillary services to BC Hydro for Transmission Grid Support.
