  • Alberta seeks solar farm proposals - Government of Alberta News Release
​“There is no doubt that solar electricity will become an important component of Alberta’s decarbonized and diversified electricity supply mix as the cost of our technology continues to significantly decline.  The solar farm that would meet half of the Government of Alberta’s annual electricity needs would support the delivery of many firsts. Canada’s first 50% solar-powered Government. Western Canada’s first large-scale solar farm.  Alberta’s first utility-scale solar jobs.  The success of this initiative will secure the government and public confidence in a larger future role for solar energy in Alberta” – John Gorman,  President & CEO, CanSIA
Picture
“Not many people know that the Government of Alberta has been 100% renewable for a decade. This initiative gave the wind energy industry the early leg-up they required to become the cost-competitive clean option that they are for the province today.  We expect that this new solar energy initiative will not only help our industry to overcome some preliminary hurdles in Alberta, but to also deliver the lowest cost solar electricity in Canada’s history” – Patrick Bateman, Director of Policy & Market Development, CanSIA
