Invest Alberta and EDP Renewables commit to a sustainable future

EDP Renewables and Invest Alberta join forces to support the growth of renewable energy in Alberta. Through their partnership, they will work together to develop renewable energy projects that will stimulate the economy and create high-quality jobs in the province.

Please share:

EDP Renewables North America LLC (EDPR NA) and Invest Alberta Corporation (IAC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding at S&P Global’s CERAWeek, committing to work together to stimulate economic growth and high-quality job creation in the renewable energy sector in Alberta. The two companies are joining forces to support three new renewable energy projects, including the 297-megawatt Sharp Hills wind farm currently under construction and two additional solar farms with a combined total capacity of up to 350 MW.

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.

Partnership with Invest Alberta highlights EDP Renewables’ commitment

The partnership with Invest Alberta demonstrates EDP Renewables’ commitment to the responsible development of renewable energy throughout Alberta and to investing in local communities for years to come. This MOU will allow EDP Renewables to work with Invest Alberta to explore investment opportunities in new renewable energy projects in the province.
