Cumberland council reviewed the Geothermal Greenhouse Action Plan (GGAP) to establish a community greenhouse in Springhill utilizing geothermal energy from mine water. The GGAP assesses Springhill's geothermal resource, mine water temperatures, and evaluates three greenhouse development scenarios.
The geothermal energy technical coordinator noted the plan's focus on economic, social, and environmental benefits, particularly in local food production. The proposed greenhouse would measure 1,100 square meters and could reduce annual energy costs by up to $51,000. The council is also exploring expanding geothermal heating to additional buildings, potentially reducing reliance on oil-fired systems.
