DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp plans to start construction of 25 MW geothermal project in Saskatchewan

DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. has finalized the strategy for the engineering, construction, and commissioning of the 25 MW geothermal power plant projects in southeast Saskatchewan with the field construction expected to start in Q3 2023. 

The developers concluded that the reservoir characteristics could support the construction of multiple geothermal expansion facilities in southeast Saskatchewan over several years. DEEP is positioned to move forward with the construction phase of a 25 MW power facility in southeast Saskatchewan, which includes a 5 MW power purchase agreement with SaskPower. The facility is planned to be constructed in 2 phases – 5 MW followed by an additional 20 MW at the same location. Production and injection wells are planned to be drilled to a depth of approximately 3.5 kilometers and horizontally for an additional 3 kilometers.

The construction and drilling on the first 5-MW phase will begin in Q4 2023, with the first power production expected by the summer of 2024. The next 20-megawatt segment is not yet fully financed but once complete, the project will be capable of powering 25,000 households.
