E2E Energy Solutions and Novus Earth are partnering to develop the Latitude 53 Hinton Inc. geothermal project near Hinton, Alberta. This initiative marks a significant leap in geothermal energy development. Construction is set to begin in early 2025, with the project expected to drive both sustainable energy solutions and agricultural growth.
The project will unfold in two phases. The first phase involves using geothermal energy to heat a 20-acre greenhouse for year-round strawberry farming, providing up to 50 gigajoules of heat per hour. The second phase will integrate E2E’s Enhanced Geothermal Reservoir Recovery System (EGRRS) to generate 10 MW of zero-emission power, proving geothermal’s viability as a reliable energy source.
Jeff Mesner, President of Novus Earth, expressed excitement about bringing geothermal innovation to Alberta, emphasizing the partnership’s alignment with sustainable, community-focused projects. Nick Daprocida, CEO of E2E Energy Solutions, highlighted how the project will provide stable, affordable energy to Alberta, benefiting both the agricultural sector and local communities.
The Latitude 53 project is expected to drive economic growth and create jobs in the West Yellowhead region. Supported by funding from the Government of Canada and Ormat Technologies, the project aims to showcase geothermal energy’s potential for sustainable, reliable power.
