Quebec will have the largest geothermal lagoon in the world
The project is inspired by the hot springs of Iceland.
Louis Massicotte, former president of Calypso Park, has developed the unique GeoLAGON project, a plan for resort villages in Quebec that will be powered by renewable energy.
The geothermal lagoon, inspired by Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon, one of the 25 wonders of the world, is part of this project and will be the largest of its kind in the world, with a surface area of nearly 12,000 square meters.
The open-air lagoon will be heated throughout the year to a comfortable 38 degrees and will be available to users year-round. It will be surrounded by coastal, urban-style cottages that are planned for short-term rentals.
The developer assures that the project has enormous potential and is on its way to being 100% energy self-sufficient. The plans are grandiose:
"The whole village will produce more energy than it consumes."
Massicotte ambitiously declares that his goal of creating an energy self-sufficient village has turned into a race against business tycoon Ilon Musk for time: he intends to launch his project before Musk's sensational SunHouse.
There are currently plans to build four resort villages in Quebec City, the first of which is a few minutes from the Massif de Charlevoix ski area.
Work on the project is expected to begin by the spring of 2023.
