Geothermal Rising Expands into Canada with CanGEA Acquisition

Geothermal Rising, a U.S.-based geothermal association, has expanded its operations into Canada through the acquisition of the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA). The acquisition signifies a strategic move to strengthen the presence of geothermal technology in Canada and unite efforts across North America. CanGEA will be rebranded as Geothermal Rising Canada, and the collaboration is set to amplify geothermal energy research, development, and policy influence in both countries. The initiative aims to empower the geothermal value chain, promote industry visibility, and prepare for the 2026 World Geothermal Congress in Calgary. The merger will also focus on knowledge sharing, supporting indigenous involvement, and leveraging the expertise in policy and regulatory advancements that CanGEA has tailored over the past two decades. The geothermal sector is experiencing substantial global momentum, with significant investments and job creation. This acquisition is seen as an exciting opportunity to build on that momentum and enhance the development of a robust geothermal industry in Canada.
