9/6/2016

The Climate Change Action Plan of the Ontario government makes specific references to support for geothermal technology.  The plan will “ensure building owners have access to energy-efficiency retrofit programs, such as boiler replacements and geothermal technology” and will create a green bank to increase the use of available technologies such as “solar, air-source heat pumps, geothermal systems, vehicle-to-grid energy systems, and energy storage systems.”  For existing homes, geothermal in new, highly efficient buildings can also be complemented with natural gas and will support schools, hospitals, universities and colleges to retrofit their facilities with energy efficient and renewable energy technologies, including geothermal systems. Funding for measures where geothermal is eligible will range from $900 million to $1.4 billion.
