Subterra Renewables, a Canada-based geothermal developer and engineering firm specializing in distributed heating, cooling, and power generation utilities, has been awarded the contract for a proposed geothermal power project in Northern Japan following a competitive RFP administered by California-based clean infrastructure design and development company TerraScale Inc.
The Green Snow Project in Northern Japan is a hybrid renewable energy venture that aims to tap into the region’s abundant low to medium-heat geothermal resources for power generation. It is being developed by TerraScale with the California-based Climate Transition Development Corporation and the Japanese company, Global Family. 113 acres of land have been secured in Northern Japan for the Green Snow Project.
Canadian engineering firm Subterra Renewables has won the first right of exclusivity to own and operate a geothermal power plant in Japan that will be built as part of California-based infrastructure developer TerraScale Inc’s Green Snow project.
Subterra said in a statement last week that TerraScale selected it in a highly-competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process in connection with the project. It added it was picked “based on its advanced technology, extensive expertise, exceptional management team, and strong partnerships.”
The Green Snow project in Northern Japan is a hybrid renewable energy venture involving the construction of a series of geothermal plants developed by TerraScale and its Japanese partner Global Family Holdings Co Ltd through their joint venture Climate Transition Development Corporation (CTD). At the very start of the month, TerraScale announced it had obtained 113 acres of land for the realisation of Green Snow, thus marking the completion of pre-development work on the scheme.

A joint venture is working to unlock the latter, geothermal energy, for a new project in northern Japan. California-based TerraScale Inc. and Japan firm Global Family are teaming up to launch the Green Snow development.
Climate Transition Development Corp., the partnership between TerraScale and Global Family, will focus on the energy capacity which lies beneath 113 acres of northern Japanese land recently acquired by TerraScale and partners.
