Alberta is well-positioned to become a geothermal leader.

In a cold country like Canada, where the average temperature is 1°C, geothermal energy is more important in terms of its thermal capacity than its electrical capacity; more than 60% of our energy needs is spent on heating. Compared to other energy sources, geothermal is the only clean resource that is capable of effectively heating and providing electricity on a massive scale. Therefore, geothermal has great value not only as a clean power plant, but in terms of its direct heat use.
