Working Well Program Update February 2014 Issue 7 Clean Water. Well Protected. Since 2008 the Working Well program has been delivering community-based workshops and providing well owners with the information and tools they need to properly care for their wells. The Working Well program is helping to ensure safe and secure groundwater supplies for all Albertans. 2012-2013 Program Report IN THIS ISSUE: The Working Well program includes four elements or tools for extending key messages to water well owners: hands-on workshops for well owners, 2012-2013 Program Report 1 interactive activities and exhibits, information resources, and community outreach. Workshops are the cornerstone of the program, and the primary Workshop Facts & Figures 1 tool for engaging well owners.

    September 25, 2018 Geothermal Analysis Clear Hills County Study by Terrapin Geothermics For further information, contact: Sean Collins, President 780.232.0339 [email protected] Executive Summary In the spring of 2018, Terrapin Geothermics was engaged to evaluate the geothermal resources available to northern Alberta municipalities. Geothermal energy refers to the heat available from within the earth and is classified as a renewable energy resource. Based on Alberta’s sub-surface geology, the highest quality geothermal resources in the province are in the northern and western regions, making the geothermal industry the only source of renewable energy that is better in the northern part of the province than in the south. The majority of wind and solar projects have been developed in southern Alberta due to the fact that the solar and wind resource in Alberta happens to be stronger in those regions. As with all energy developments, before any active project development and direct investment can take place, you must start with understanding the resource available. The primary focus for this particular project was to provide northern Alberta communities with a high- level understanding of the geothermal resource available within a 25-kilometer radius. This information can then provide a starting point for municipalities that are keen to develop their resource further. One of the unique aspects of geothermal energy developments is that you can use geothermal energy for a variety of different things depending on the quality of the resource. The hotter the temperature available, the greater the number of possibilities exist for using this resource. In general, the projects you can develop in this industry break down into a few main categories: 1.
