Guide to Renewable Energy and Battery Storage Projects

While the guide was created for landowners in Alberta, it is useful for anyone. Click here for more information.

In less than a decade, renewable energy has brought substantial financial benefits to Alberta landowners and communities, while also generating affordable energy for the province's electrical grid. Given that renewables generate the lowest-cost form of new energy available, new project proposals are sure to continue to arise. But when landowners and communities are first approached by wind and solar developers as potential hosts for a renewable energy project, it naturally generates a lot of questions.

Our new publication, Guide to Renewable Energy and Battery Storage Projects: How Alberta landowners can reap the benefits of hosting clean energy, takes care of a lot of the research and homework they would otherwise face. The guide starts by grounding readers with an explanation of what renewable energy is and how the industry has evolved in Alberta in recent years. It outlines the benefits of wind and solar projects, and the potential impacts.
