The province says it has cleared the way for the company that wants to build a geothermal power plant south of Grande Prairie to begin seeking regulatory approval.

Terrapin Geothermics wants to build the plant in the Gold Creek area in the MD of Greenview.

The province’s Energy Ministry says in a news release that Terrapin has been granted permission to do testing operations to check the geothermal potential in that area.

“Projects like these show that companies have confidence investing in Alberta. Provided the projects are in the best interest of Albertans, we need to hold up our end of the bargain by ensuring timely approvals,” said Energy Minister Sonya Savage in that same release.
