Rural AB collected $70M in renewable tax revenue this year - but all projects were approved before Aug 2023.
53 cancelled projects since = $84M in lost annual revenue.
Today's decisions determine if municipalities collect $70M or $150M in 5 years.

Canada's top 100 TSX companies need 7.7 GW of renewable energy to hit their climate pledges—3.9 GW by 2030.
That's billions in investment, thousands of jobs, and major tax revenue.
The demand exists. Which province moves first?

☀️💨 Our 2025 Q2 update of our Deal Tracker shows the impact that continued regulatory uncertainty is having on the #CleanEnergy industry in Alberta. There were no new #PowerPurchaseAgreements signed. It's hard to sign a deal if you don't know what the basic market regulations are!

☀️💨 Interesting Energy Institute report: Since 2010 #renewables and nuclear have avoided the use of 1,371 exajoules of fossil fuels, nearly 2.5 times the entire energy supplied globally in 2024. (1 exajoule = 174 million barrels of oil equivalent)

☀️💨💰 You might be surprised at how @alberta.ca's #RenewableEnergy reclamation security rules compare to other jurisdictions. The province's rules are more onerous, overall, than Texas, Tennessee and France, for example.

☀️💨💰 Why are we concerned about @youralberta.bsky.social's new reclamation security rules for #RenewableEnergy? The Alberta model contains several requirements that put the design on the higher-cost end of the possible spectrum, making the province uncompetitive.

Small orgs can go big on #CleanEnergy. BRC-Canada’s new primer shows how #PPA aggregation helps buyers share the load, lower costs & drive impact. Case studies + how-tos inside. Worth the read if you're on the road to #NetZero. Accessible to our community.
