Geoscience BC Awards Geothermal Contract to Kerr Wood Leidal (News Release)
Geoscience BC is pleased to announce that
Kerr Wood Leidal (KWL) of Vancouver, with their sub-consultant
GeothermEx of Richmond, California, has been awarded the contract to carry out an assessment of the economic viability of geothermal energy for electrical power generation in British Columbia. This study will give insights as to whether or not geothermal electricity generation might be economic at known locations across B.C.
This new study will first involve data compilation and re-evaluation of previous geothermal studies in B.C., including 18 known geothermal sites throughout the province. The second step will comprise the technical and economic assessment of areas deemed favorable through the initial compilation exercise and further evaluate the estimated resource at these sites for their economic potential.
