The Alberta government says it will provide more than $5 million to help municipalities cover the cost of installing solar panels.
This program will provide rebates of up to $0.75 per watt, to a maximum of $300,000 per project, to municipalities for installing solar on municipal buildings, such as offices, fire halls, community centres and more.
A new solar program for agricultural producers – On-Farm Solar Management – will provide $500,000 in provincial and federal funding towards solar energy systems on Alberta farms. The program will help producers generate their own electricity and reduce their carbon emissions.
Environment Minister Shannon Phillips says the money builds on programs that have reduced the province’s greenhouse gas emissions by about 500 tonnes a year.
