Alberta. Fossil fuels generate most of Alberta''s electricity, but the province emerged over the past decade as a leading producer of wind energy in Canada. Between 2010 and 2017, Alberta''s wind capacity doubled. Wind capacity is projected to double again by 2023 as Alberta continues with its phase out of coal-fired generation. Generation Trends
In 2016, the Alberta government set itself an ambitious target to help wean the province off its reliance on fossil fuels for electricity. The Renewable Electricity Act called for 30 per cent of all electricity produced in the province to come from renewables by 2030. For a grid like Alberta''s, which was still heavily reliant on coal, the target was significant.
The project will deploy renewable energy and grid modernization technologies to support the supply of clean energy to the Alberta electricity grid, reducing GHG emissions by approximately 29,000 tonnes of CO 2 e a year, equivalent to taking 8,900 gas-powered cars off the road.
