Geothermal Tenure: Alberta Geothermal Agreements
Alberta's provincial geothermal tenure polygons - status, holder, and expiry - carried on the map alongside petroleum and CCS tenure, free for all users.
What it is
Alberta grants geothermal tenure for projects that produce heat or power from deep formations, often in the same sedimentary basin that holds oil and gas. Township Canada carries the provincial geothermal tenure polygons, published by the Government of Alberta. The Geothermal Tenure layer is available to all users at no additional cost.
What it carries
Each geothermal agreement carries its name, operator, status, tenure type, and area. As with the other tenure layers, we compute the share of each Legal Subdivision the agreement covers, so a parcel report shows whether geothermal rights touch the quarter.
Coverage and refresh
Coverage is Alberta, refreshed as the province releases updates. Like CCS, geothermal is an emerging tenure type whose footprint grows as new projects are granted.

How Township Canada shows it
Geothermal tenure has its own free map layer - toggle it from the Energy category in the layers panel. For Energy Bundle subscribers, geothermal agreements also appear in the alternative-energy section of the Energy tab on the parcel report, next to petroleum and CCS tenure. It rounds out the picture for developers evaluating a parcel for more than conventional production.
