Further drilling is deliberate for the Tu Deh-Kah geothermal energy venture in BC, Canada in the direction of a goal operations date by 2027.
An replace on the Tu Deh-Kah geothermal venture in British Columbia, Canada, was given by members of the Fort Nelson First Nation (FNFN) throughout a current group occasion.
The Tu Deh-Kah geothermal venture goals to develop an influence plant with a capability of seven MWe with chance of enlargement to fifteen MWe.

Floor infrastructure is then anticipated to be in place by 2026, in time for the ability to start out operations by 2027. Hodgson additionally famous that the reservoir has a temperature of 114 to 120 °C, and that the deliberate energy plant will use binary know-how.
Beforehand often called Clarke Lake, the Tu Deh-Kah geothermal venture was renamed to higher mirror its indigenous nature. Federal funding of CAD 40.5 million was granted for the venture in March 2021
