Borealis GeoPower's Canoe Reach Geothermal Project has once again been brought into the public eye, being featured in Dan McCue's article entitled "Drilling to Begin Soon on Canadian Geothermal Project" on Renewable Energy Magazine's website.  The article states that "Borealis GeoPower, a renewable geothermal energy company based in Calgary, Alberta, has received four geothermal resource well authorizations from the BC Oil and Gas Commission for thermal gradient wells on its Canoe Reach Geothermal Project, south of Valemount, British Columbia. The well authorizations will allow the company to begin drilling for collection of geotechnical and temperature gradient information."

The countdown until drilling is on for the the Canoe Reach project's thermal gradient wells and excitement around the project has started to spread. News of our newly permitted project has been featured in the Rocky Mountain Goat newspaper, in an article entitled "Borealis gets permit to drill" written by Andru McCracken. The article outlines the current status of the project and the next steps that Borealis will be undertaking. The article states that "Borealis GeoPower’s CEO Alison Thompson said that her team members were in Valemount on Monday for an Emergency Response Plan meeting with their contractors." The article goes on to quote Borealis' CEO Alison Thompson as saying “Drilling will commence shortly after that.” 

Borealis' recent press release pertaining to drilling for the Canoe Reach project has been featured on ThinkGeoEnergy's website, in Alexander Richter's article entitled "Drilling to start on first wells for geothermal project in British Columbia, Canada." The article states that "With a drilling permit received, Canadian developer Borealis GeoPower is about to start drilling for its geothermal project near Valemount in the province of British Columbia, Canada". 

​Borealis GeoPower Inc. (Borealis) is pleased to announce that on May 29, 2018 the BC Oil and Gas Commission (Commission) issued four geothermal resource well authorizations for thermal gradient wells on its Canoe Reach Geothermal Project, south of Valemount B.C. Borealis would like to recognize the collaborative working relationship and support of the Commission in their efforts to advance an additional renewable energy option for the Province. Borealis is a renewable geothermal energy company based in Calgary, Alberta with plans to drill geothermal wells to produce renewable power and heat. The well authorizations will allow the company to begin drilling for collection of geotechnical and temperature gradient information.

Geothermal energy has become an increasingly prevalent topic in the media as Borealis becomes closer and closer to bringing its Canoe Reach project to fruition. Borealis GeoPower was recently featured in Clean Energy Canada's newsletter, the Clean Energy Review, under the headline "Borealis gets regulator nod to drill for heat." The article also makes a reference to Borealis' long-term goal for the Canoe Reach project, a 15 MW geothermal power plant. 

Borealis GeoPower's recently permitted Canoe Reach Geothermal project makes headlines again in Alaska Highway News' article entitled "Geothermal energy project gets drilling permit." The article states that "Situated as it is on the Pacific Ring of Fire, B.C. has good geothermal energy potential. In areas with volcanic activity, magma from the earth’s core can rise close to the surface, heating aquifers to temperatures of 200 C. When tapped, the water can be hot enough to drive steam turbines to produce power."

"Geothermal energy is a growth business", states Darrell Proctor in Power Magazine's recent article entitled "Novel Geothermal Power Technology Being Deployed in Canada." The constant research and development of new, innovative technology is essential for maintaining a growth business, geothermal energy being no exception. This is why Borealis GeoPower chose Climeon to supply the power generation units for our Canoe Reach Energy project. Darrell Proctor's aforementioned Power Magazine article discusses the importance of this decision, quoting Climeon's head of sales, Andreas Källroos, as saying:

News of Borealis' Canoe Reach Energy project drilling permit has become a hot topic in the news lately. JWN, a popular energy news publisher, reported on the story, previously published by BIV, in their article entitled "B.C. issues first-ever permit for geothermal energy project." The article brings up the great deal of support that Borealis has received for the project, stating that "The pilot project has enjoyed unanimous support by the NDP, Liberals and Greens."
