Proposed Sask. geothermal plant could have more than 1 use
A new proposed geothermal power plant near Estevan, Sask. could have other uses besides generating electricity.
Earlier this week it was announced SaskPower and DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. had reached an agreement to look into the feasibility of a five-megawatt project by The Energy City.
The plant would tap into hot water underground, pass that through an exchanger to create steam and drive a turbine, which would create electricity. It’s estimated enough electricity would be generated to power 5,000 homes.
But what should be done with the wastewater?
