The Manitoba Geothermal Energy Alliance (MGEA) is a not-for-profit multi-stakeholder membership based organization founded in January 2006, helping to advance the geothermal industry in Manitoba - our current president is Brent Laufer. We are Manitoba’s leading consortium of industry stakeholders, bringing together consumers and the government with geothermal installers, loop installers, professionals, manufacturers and distributors. We express interests for a clean sustainable energy source, high industry standards, assurance and public protection through our permitting system.
