Summary

Nutrition label

70% Informative

Fort Nelson First Nation is developing a geothermal plant out of an orphaned oil well.

Tu Deh-Kah is 100% Indigenous-owned and poised to generate seven to 15 megawatts .

Oil and gas remains the largest private employer of Indigenous people in Canada , with 10,800 Indigenous workers.

The Tu Deh-Kah First Nation plans to use the gas that remains deep in the old well to ensure that every element of the project is given a use, as if it were a moose.

The project received $1.2 million from Natural Resources Canada through the Indigenous Natural Resource Partnerships program.

Fort Nelson First Nation is not the only Indigenous community to cast its eyes to the promise of geothermal.

The Fallon Paiute Shoshone community launched a legal challenge over concerns about the impact the project would have on its religious and historical site.

A bid to chart a better path forward emerged last year at the first -ever Indigenous Geothermal Symposium in Hawaii .

Indigenous leaders in the geothermal space came together and developed the Geothermal Indigenous People’s Declaration .
