❌ There has been a 93% drop in new projects since 2022

Most Albertans back renewable energy — so why is the Government of Alberta still allowing investment to stall?

In Ottawa last week, Canada’s leading environmental groups reminded government that major climate policy rollbacks are bad for the planet — and the economy.

The most recent outcomes of the federal-Alberta MOU were a failure for Canada and Alberta, both in setting us up to thrive in the global clean energy economy and in doing our share to tackle the climate crisis.

As the global energy transition accelerates, smart climate policy = smart economic policy.

Read "Groups call on Ottawa to reverse course on environmental policy" by the Canadian Press.

Batteries are stepping up — and winning.

✅ Lower electricity costs
✅ More reliable power during peak demand
✅ Less reliance on volatile fossil fuel imports

This is what a modern, reliable grid looks like. 🔋⚡
