22.2.2 LegislationandRegulation Currently only one jurisdiction (British Columbia) has legislation governing the exploration and development of geothermal resources. Other provinces and territories are currently considering the adoption of such legislation and the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association is active in the consultation process to expedite the prudent development of these resources. On the federal front geothermal energy development remains a lower priority in the context of other energy resources such as oil & gas, hydroelectric, wind, and solar power. Through active policy work and advocacy, the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association is making headway in attracting interest and progressive policy to advance the industry. 22.2.2.1 British Columbia The Province of British Columbia is perhaps the most progressive jurisdiction in terms of policy and administration for geothermal energy development. The Province recently held its first tenure permit action since 2004 and two auctions took place in 2010, but has failed to meet its own guidance in the issuance of tenure permits enabling geothermal exploration and development. Nonetheless, this latest auction effectively ends a longstanding period of government inactivity in the geothermal sector and reflects a renewed interest in the industry and its ability to meet the clean energy demands of the Province. In addition to geothermal tenure permit auctions the Province recently announce the new Clean Energy Act and is undertaking industry consultation to modernize its legislation and regulations for the geothermal industry. The new Act will provide greater Ministerial authority in advancing clean energy projects while streamlining certain processes to expedite project development. The industry is hopeful that the new Act will usher in a flurry of geothermal resource exploration and development for the Province and provide the needed government support to attract further investment in the industry. 22.2.2.2 Alberta, Yukon and Northwest Territories The remaining western Canadian jurisdictions with strong geothermal resources are also keenly looking at ways to advance the development of their geothermal resources. In Alberta, where electricity generation is largely dependant on fossil fuel generation facilities, policy reform remains a goal of the industry even though current projects are being governed by other legislation such as oil & gas and mineral exploration and extraction. Though there is a lack of tailored policy there is great interest in geothermal energy and a provincial agency has put forth funding for a co-produced fluids geothermal project. As well, there is a financial incentive of $15 per tonne, which corresponds to $ 9.75/MWh based on current guidance, of CO2 equivalents removed or negated in the power production market. This, in addition to federal incentives, has drawn interest in the geothermal sector in Alberta, especially for co-produced fluids projects symbiotic to the oil and gas and mining industries. In the northern territories there is similar interest in developing geothermal resources for electricity production and also for residential and commercial heating. Typically these northern and remote communities have relied upon fossil fuel and food imports, which are both costly and environmentally damaging. Geothermal energy represents a comprehensive solution to these issues and is an ideal alternative worth consideration. The federal government has sponsored one geothermal power pilot project and one geothermal heating project in the Northwest Territories. These projects, combined with the Alberta project, may soon be Canada‘s first geothermal power plants and generate the country‘s first megawatts of electric power from the earth‘s energy. 257PDF Image | Geothermal Research and Tech IEA
