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

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. “This rapid growth will see Alberta race ahead of Canada’s other provinces and take the top spot in the country’s green table, outpacing Ontario — the current leader — with almost double the power generation capacity,” the Rystad report said.Article content, generating 5.5 GW from wind and 2.8 GW from solar, compared with Alberta’s “minor player” stats of 2.2 GW and 0.458 GW , according to the Canadian Association of Renewable Energy.

Dreamin!

Here's how the real world in Alberta works:

lol did this statement sound better in your head?

Don't do it Alberta. Fight for Oil and gas. Fight for Canada's survival.

Not a race we want to be part of. Rest of the world realizing large scale solar and wind is a waste of money and does nothing to reduce carbon as baseload from natgas also must be built. Just makes energy more expensive with no benefit. More climate porn from the MSM

Wrong

Only if we have a competent govt

Alberta SHOULD be the place where it booms. It's not ironic. There's a sleeping giant in this province that nobody knows about, even though they think they do. How’s that worked out everywhere else it’s been tried?

Posthaste: How the 'fossil fuel heartland' will become Canada's green energy leader in three yearsWind and solar capacity set to nearly double by 2025 👍 Too bad this won't generate much jobs. It’s awesome!! Now STFU about O&G. We know we still need it, but we’re trying to make it a little less every year. This is the “CANADIAN ENERGY” every party should be promoting.
