Posthaste: How the 'fossil fuel heartland' will become Canada's green energy leader in three years

Canada is on the cusp of a renewables boom and Alberta is the province that will power it.

Rystad author Geoff Hebertson estimates that total renewables capacity in Canada, which he put at 19.6 gigawatts in 2021, will expand to almost 45 GW in 2025, with most of the growth coming from onshore wind and solar capacity predominantly generated in Alberta. The following are the top five projects slated to come online this year: Buffalo Plains Wind Farm, generating 514.6 MW; Travers Solar, 465 MW; Forty Mile BHE, 389.5 MW; Kirkcaldy Solar, 350 MW; and Forty Mile Wind, 200 MW.

The energy order is about to be upended for a variety of reasons, including “minimal regulatory hurdles and abundant natural resources,” in Alberta, Hebertson said.The province operates an “open market” system that allows companies seeking renewable capacity to sign deals with private power producers, though they must still apply and be approved to connect to the electricity grid.

Failed projects! Stop wasting taxpayers money.
