2017-2018 Strategic Projects
Alberta Solar Market Development (ASMD):
The aim of the Alberta Solar Market Development (ASMD) Strategic Project is to capture increasing near-term and long-term market opportunity for solar energy in Alberta’s electricity supply-mix and to support the development of the policy and regulatory framework that can enable project development. This 1-year project will build upon CanSIA’s past market development initiatives in the province of Alberta to work toward existing policy commitments, giving rise to near-term solar market opportunities and a path to a sustainable long-term role for solar in the provinces’ future electricity needs.

Building Public Support for Solar (BPSS):
This initiative will focus on growth of market opportunities for solar energy through increased public demand. BPSS aims to educate the public on the benefits of solar energy and demonstrate how they can get involved with the solar programs in their region with a trusted CanSIA Member organization. Increased public awareness and demand will be channelled into multi-partisan support for solar energy – informing political leaders and decision makers of the importance of solar energy.

Federal Solar Electricity Strategy (FSES):
The aim of this Strategic Project is to convert the Federal Government’s climate change and clean growth commitments into growth in solar electricity’s national market share. This 1-year project will build upon CanSIA’s past market development initiatives at the federal level. The FSES will directly engage key elected officials, policy-makers and regulatory decision-makers on priority issues to ensure that the political will and potential that is now well understood to near- and long-term solar market growth.
