Last year, the Alberta Government put a seven-month moratorium on renewable power approvals. Unfortunately, according to an analysis done by the Pembina Institute, it led to dozens of cancelled projects and uncertainty.
“53 wind and solar projects were abandoned after the United Conservative Party government paused approvals for seven months then failed to clarify new rules for those developments.”
The capacity of those cancelled projects adds up to over 8,600 megawatts of generation. The report says that is more than enough to power every home in Alberta.
