Springhill Geothermal Mines Spark Major Renewable Energy Investment Interest

Cumberland’s Springhill Mines Ignite New Geothermal Energy Investment Race By: Robert Buluma Deep beneath the historic coal town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, an energy revolution is quietly simmering. What was once the beating heart of Canada’s coal mining era is now emerging as one of the country’s most fascinating geothermal success stories. Flooded abandoned mines that once symbolized industrial decline are being reimagined as a renewable energy treasure capable of powering greenhouses, businesses, institutions, and perhaps an entirely new economic future. The Municipality of Cumberland is now intensifying efforts to attract investors and developers interested in harnessing geothermal energy from the former Springhill coal mines after a provincially funded geothermal research initiative reached its conclusion in April 2026. The story unfolding in this small Nova Scotian community is not just about renewable energy. It is about reinvention, resilience, and the transformation of old i...

Gran Canaria geothermal drilling tender expected soon announcement

Gran Canaria’s Geothermal Push Enters New Phase as Drilling Tender Preparations Begin By: Robert Buluma   Gran Canaria’s geothermal ambitions are rapidly moving from theoretical exploration toward real industrial development. In a major development for Spain’s renewable energy sector, the Cabildo of Gran Canaria has intensified efforts to unlock underground geothermal resources while preparations quietly advance for what could become one of the Canary Islands’ most important clean energy drilling campaigns. The latest momentum comes as the Cabildo formally seeks another permit to investigate geothermal resources across strategic areas of the island. At the same time, authorities and project partners are preparing technical tender documents for exploratory geothermal drilling operations expected to begin in the coming development phases. Together, these developments signal that geothermal energy is no longer being treated as a distant scientific possibility in Gran Canaria. It is ...

Mercury Expands New Zealand Geothermal Platform With Billion Dollar Investment

Mercury’s $1 Billion Geothermal Expansion Signals a New Era for New Zealand’s Renewable Energy Future By: Robert Buluma   Mercury Doubles Down on Geothermal Power New Zealand’s renewable energy transition has entered a bold new chapter after Mercury announced plans to significantly scale its geothermal platform with a potential investment of up to $1 billion. The announcement marks one of the country’s most ambitious geothermal expansion strategies in recent years and reinforces geothermal energy’s growing role as a reliable, baseload renewable power source capable of supporting future electricity demand. Mercury revealed that it will immediately commit NZ$75 million toward geothermal appraisal drilling at two major projects located near Taupō — Ngā Tamariki and Rotokawa. These developments could collectively generate an additional 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) of electricity annually, enough to power approximately 125,000 more homes across New Zealand. The projects are expected to t...

Grenada Advances Mount St. Catherine Geothermal Drilling Energy Expansion

Grenada’s Geothermal Gamble Enters Defining Phase at Mount St. Catherine By: Robert Buluma The Caribbean’s race toward clean, independent, and resilient energy has entered a defining chapter as Grenada pushes its geothermal ambitions into the most critical stage yet. Backed by international financing, advanced drilling technologies, and a growing regional determination to break free from imported fossil fuels, the island nation is now standing at the edge of a potentially transformative energy revolution. In a major announcement released by the Caribbean Development Bank, Grenada’s geothermal programme has officially advanced into an expanded exploratory drilling campaign at Mount St. Catherine — a move that could determine whether the country possesses commercially viable geothermal resources capable of powering its future. For Grenada, this is far more than an energy project. It is a national strategic mission tied directly to energy security, electricity affordability, economic r...
