Since it will take plenty of energy to power the Moose Jaw Agri-Food Industrial Park once it is fully operational, geothermal energy could be one method to support that area.
During its recent regular meeting, city council voted unanimously to approve a proposal from businessman Steve Halabura for a geothermal project in the Galilee area south of Moose Jaw and a preliminary economic assessment of the development of the city’s geothermal energy resource for agri-food production.
