The Newberry project, led by Mazama Energy with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, has successfully created an enhanced geothermal system that circulates water through hard rock at record-breaking temperatures of 331 C.

This project represents a major milestone towards producing geothermal energy from water hotter than 375 C, where water changes to a supercritical state that carries five times more energy than the subcritical water typically circulated in geothermal projects.

I've always thought that combining geothermal power with Dutch vertical farming would go a long way towards making much more of Canada agriculturally viable. This would help solve the food security issues experienced in the north and also help with solidifying Arctic sovereignty in a more effective way than military bases, which is to say making a larger human footprint than ~130k people spread across three huge territories viable.
