Geothermal energy for buildings boosted in Manitoba

Commercial building owners who install geothermal heating and cooling systems are eligible to receive up to 10% of the value the systems. Building owners who install district geothermal service systems might be eligible for up to $150,000.
The province is promoting the geothermal energy industry. So far over 6,000 Manitobans have converted to geothermal heating and cooling systems.
