Private companies are partnering with First Nations to invest around $1.2 billion in renewable energy projects in Alberta, which create new jobs and continue with record-setting low prices for Albertans.
Minister Phillips announces five new wind projects as part of Alberta's Renewable Electricity Program.
The five successful projects are made possible through the latest phase of the Alberta government's Renewable Electricity Program. They include investments from Albertan companies, as well as from new investors from outside the province, with companies from Ontario and France.
In total, the new developments will create about 1,000 jobs and generate about 760 megawatts of affordable renewable electricity - enough to power nearly 300,000 homes.
