Solar energy is emerging as one of the lowest-cost options for new electricity in Alberta, while generating power when our system needs it most. These facts make for great economics.
It started with Western Canada’s first utility-scale project in 2017. Then, government investments announced earlier this year will see a seven-fold increase in utility-scale solar power.
The jaw-droppingly low prices sparked a rush of private sector interest in Alberta solar, clearly positioning solar as the next big Alberta energy project.
Hear from some of the key players in this exciting development.
Join us after the event for casual networking at Solar Drinks
