Some forecasts suggest Alberta will exceed its goal of 30 per cent renewable electricity by 2030, much of which is wind or solar. New projects like the solar farm in Edmonton’s river valley are contributing to the surge. (Photo: Amber Bracken / The Narwhal)
KEY POINTS
  • Alberta municipalities collected a record $70M in renewable-energy tax revenue in 2025, driven entirely by projects approved years earlier.
  • More than 50 project cancellations since the 2023 moratorium have erased an estimated $84M in future annual revenue.
  • Corporate renewable procurement has collapsed 96%, pushing developers and investors toward more stable provinces.
