Strategic Overview
Based on our abundant natural energy resources, existing expertise and established developments, the initiative focuses on three streams of renewable energy:
- Solar
- Wind
- Bio-Energy
Regarding Geothermal energy, the opportunity to explore and develop the feasibility of medium-grade heat, harvested from abandoned oil & gas wells in the region, is currently under consideration in Alberta.
