Alberta announces ‘renewed path forward for renewable energy’
The Government of Alberta has outlined how it plans to regulate new renewable energy projects.
Premier Danielle Smith, along with Affordability and Utilities Minister Nathan Neudorf, said the province is setting a “clear and responsible path forward” for the development of wind, solar, and other types of green power.
The government had paused new approvals on such projects over the last six months so that it could review issues related to the sector such as land use and reclamation.
Smith said Alberta has led the country in renewable energy investment in recent years and that it will continue to be important going forward.
