First Nations Energy Summit
Nov. 30 - Dec. 1, 2026 | Westin 1601 Bayshore Drive, Vancouver, BC

The Clean Energy Association of British Columbia (CEBC) is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2026 First Nations Energy Summit (FNES), taking place November 30 and December 1 at The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples.

Bringing together First Nations, government, industry, utilities, academia, and community partners, the Summit creates an important forum to exchange knowledge, strengthen relationships, and explore the opportunities shaping British Columbia’s energy future. 

GHE Analysis: Polytechnique Montreal has launched a new software to design geothermal heat pump systems

It is called GHE Analysis and developed and distributed by P3 Geothermal, a spin-off company from Polytechnique Montreal, Canada.

Academic (free) and commercial licenses are available. The program can be used to design ground source heat pump systems of all kinds. It includes interesting features that other similar software does not offer like TRT analysis and standing column well design.

SURVEY REQUEST: Stakeholder Perceptions and Opinions about Geothermal Energy in Industry
EU-funded project with GeoS-TECHIS, Fraunhofer IAO and the IAT University of Stuttgart

As part of the EU-funded project GeoS-TECHIS, Fraunhofer IAO and the IAT University of Stuttgart, are conducting a survey on the acceptance and perception of geothermal energy in industry.
The goal of the survey is to better understand the views, needs, and expectations of key stakeholders and to use these insights to develop policy recommendations, communication strategies, and educational materials that support the transition towards climate-neutral industrial energy systems.
The online survey is anonymous; takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Stakeholder Perceptions and Opinions about Geothermal Energy
The results will be published on our website GeoS-TECHIS Fraunhofer.
