By advancing two significant energy projects, government is further demonstrating Alberta is open for business and committed to increasing investor confidence.
Teck Resources Ltd.’s Frontier oil sands project and a geothermal exploration project by Terrapin Geothermics would build on Alberta’s energy strengths, while diversifying its vast natural resource potential.
This is the second major oil sands project approval in recent weeks, providing another example of government speeding up its regulatory process. Frontier also requires federal approval. If granted, Teck could move to the next stages of development, including making a final investment decision and applying for other environmental licences and local area development permits.
Government has also granted Terrapin Geothermics the rights to conduct testing operations and explore the geothermal potential of an area near Grande Prairie. This allows the company to begin seeking regulatory approvals for its geothermal power project. This advancement means the project is one step closer to operating test wells within the Municipal District of Greenview.
“Projects like these show that companies have confidence investing in Alberta. Provided the projects are in the best interest of Albertans, we need to hold up our end of the bargain by ensuring timely approvals.”
