Geothermal power in Canada
 | This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards. (February 2020) |
Canada has substantial potential for geothermal energy development.[1] To date, development has all been for heating applications. Canada has 103,523 direct use installations as of 2013.[2] There is currently no electricity being generated from geothermal sources in Canada although substantial potential exists in the Canadian Cordillera.[1] The most advanced project exists as a test geothermal-electrical site at the Mount Meager massif in British Columbia, where a 100 MegaWatt (MW) facility could be developed.[3] Potential for enhanced geothermal energy systems (EGS) exists throughout Canada. There are six geothermal power and two direct use projects listed with the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association.
