With the launch of the first round of competitive bids for renewable energy projects underway, Alberta and Saskatchewan are moving forward steadily with their ambitious renewable energy goals for 2030. Developers and lenders are now looking for clarity on current and future competitions and a deeper understanding of the regulatory and market changes shaping renewables success in these crucial markets which together represent over 7,000 MW in project potential over the next 13 years.

Register for the Alberta & Saskatchewan Renewable Energy Summit

Three key areas of focus:

1. PROCUREMENT POLICY

• Current and future renewables procurements: Critical insight from system operators
• Understanding how renewables will be treated in Alberta’s new capacity market
• Alberta’s Renewable Electricity Program: Key updates and next steps
• SaskPower’s renewables roadmap: current progress and future plans

2. PROJECT SUCCESS

• How is connection capacity and transparency changing to meet program demands?
• Navigating new permitting and regulatory guidelines in Alberta and Saskatchewan
• Finance: lenders comfort levels and remaining contract concerns for Alberta projects
• Realizing ambitious renewable energy goals: lessons from other jurisdictions

3. ENGAGEMENT

• Rural municipal leaders’ views on the role of renewables in their communities
• How do indigenous communities view this energy transition and partnerships potential?
• Emerging opportunities for smaller-scale, community partnered projects in both markets
• Energy and political strategists on sheltering renewables from politics
