VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA - A significant advancement in agriculture practices and sustainable energy is in the works, and it is being achieved through a strategic alliance. Oppy has teamed up with DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. to develop an integrated greenhouse in conjunction with Canada's pioneering geothermal power facility.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with DEEP,” said Oppy’s Category Director of Greenhouse Kevin Batt. “By integrating a greenhouse into their facility, we’re not only promoting local Canadian produce but also reducing environmental impact and food miles. This partnership symbolizes the future of farming, aligning with Oppy’s commitment to innovative practices.”

According to a recent press release, DEEP is set to develop Canada's first-ever geothermal power facility at Saskatchewan’s U.S. border, strategically positioned near the CanAm and the Trans-Canada Highways for optimal distribution access to all four cardinal points. DEEP’s facility will use the Earth’s natural heat reservoirs, ensuring low-emission power generation to support its operations alongside its state-of-the-art greenhouse.

The initiative with Oppy aims to establish an exciting new model of sustainable agriculture, channeling geothermal energy, heat, and CO₂ for year-round cultivation, the release added. Construction will be underway soon.

"We are looking forward to beginning the construction of this project after years of meticulous planning, once financing is secured,” Founder, President and CEO of DEEP Kirsten Marcia shared. “Our future collaboration with Oppy will mark a crucial step toward creating a sustainable future with this plant, marking an impact not only in power generation but in agriculture too."
