427. Billions Lost from Alberta’s Vanishing Renewable Energy Projects
By David Dodge, GreenEnergyFutures.ca Alberta is closed for business. Since 2024, 15 gigawatts of renewable energy projects have been cancelled in Alberta, resulting in the loss of billions of dollars of investment. Not all of those projects would have been built, but on the other hand, more would have surfaced over that same time period, says Jorden Dye of the Business Renewables Centre Canada (BRC).
