SaskPower looks at first geothermal power project in Estevan
SaskPower is exploring what would be Saskatchewan’s first geothermal power project.
It has signed a power purchase agreement with DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. that will determine the feasibility of a five-megawatt project near Estevan.
“We’re proud to continue our work with DEEP to evaluate geothermal’s potential role in our power supply,” SaskPower president and CEO Mike Marsh said in a news release.
“Cleaner electricity options are vital to Saskatchewan’s future, and geothermal power is another option to explore as we work to reach our goal of having 50 per cent of our capacity come from renewable power by 2030.”
