LATTITUDE 53 - HINTON
E2E Energy Solutions and Novus Earth Partner on Pioneering Geothermal Initiative in Alberta
CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--E2E Energy Solutions, in partnership with Novus Earth, is excited to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent to jointly develop the Latitude 53 Hinton Inc. project. Situated just outside of Hinton, Alberta, this groundbreaking initiative represents a major step forward in geothermal energy development.
Construction is expected to begin in early 2025, with the project set to drive both sustainable energy solutions and agricultural growth, showcasing the transformative potential of geothermal technology. The Latitude 53 project is an ambitious, two-phase endeavour that will have a lasting impact on the region.
The first phase will focus on utilizing geothermal energy to support year-round strawberry cultivation across a 20-acre greenhouse. This facility will receive up to 50 gigajoules of sustainable, consistent heat per hour, provided by E2E's geothermal technology. The second phase will incorporate E2E’s patented Enhanced Geothermal Reservoir Recovery System (EGRRS) to generate 10 MW of zero-emission power, proving the feasibility of geothermal technology as a reliable energy source.
"We are looking forward to introducing this innovative approach to thermal and electrical generation to Alberta," said Jeff Mesner, President of Novus Earth. "Our partnership with E2E Energy Solutions perfectly aligns with our mission to leverage advanced geothermal technology for sustainable, community-centered projects."
“We’re very pleased to see our EGRRS technology integrated into a project that will bring stable, affordable energy to Alberta,” said Nick Daprocida, CEO of E2E Energy Solutions. “This project demonstrates how geothermal energy can contribute to creating sustainable jobs and delivering reliable baseload power to the agricultural sector.”
The Latitude 53 site is expected to foster economic growth and employment opportunities in Hinton and the West Yellowhead region. The project has received Government of Canada funding and will be supported by Ormat Technologies. For more information, visit e2eenergysolutions.com.
