Partnership to create new economic and employment opportunities in Alberta

IAC will support EDPR NA in applying for and optimizing potential project incentives, building relationships with provincial stakeholders, and connecting the company with Alberta post-secondary institutions to create a talent pool for EDPR NA’s expansion in the province. The collaboration also aims to enhance Alberta’s status as a renewable energy leader and innovation center in Canada, and to diversify the province’s economy through the growth of the burgeoning renewable energy sector. EDPR NA’s projects will further develop the business environment, workforce and infrastructure necessary for the success of the renewable energy industry in Alberta.

Ambitious projects for a sustainable future

EDP Renewables currently operates two renewable energy projects in Canada, but this collaboration with EPC demonstrates their commitment to the growth of the renewable energy industry in Canada. EDPR NA’s projects will further develop the business environment, workforce and infrastructure necessary for the success of the renewable energy industry in Alberta. The goal is to create new economic and employment opportunities for local communities for years to come.
