About Us

Borealis GeoPower is bringing energy security via geothermal energy, both power and heat; local, diverse food choices; and new economy jobs to Canada. 

Our impact goes deeper than the drilling.

Established in 2007

Borealis GeoPower Inc. is a private Canadian corporation focused on developing high temperature geothermal projects throughout Western and Northern Canada. Our project portfolio includes 2 projects in British Columbia and 1 in Northwest Territories, as well as a diverse collection of consulting projects.

Our Goal

is to unlock Canada’s vast geothermal energy potential. Our team is working together to enable geothermal power and heat production as a major player in the Canadian geothermal sector. Canadians are global leaders in sub-surface geoscience activities. There is every reason to believe that we can be leaders in geothermal energy production, which is yet another sub-surface resource.

Since our beginning in 2007, the geoscience technical exploration team has worked diligently to collect and analyse surficial data throughout our project regions. Whether it be traversing muddy bogs to reach a site location or pickaxing through bedrock to bury an instrument, this effort has culminated in bringing Borealis’ 3 projects to the drilling stage. Borealis would like to acknowledge the effort and passion of all the individuals, past and present, who have advanced our projects as we transition to drilling operations.
