Solar in Alberta: What does it look like and how do we manage it?

Solar in Alberta: What does it look like and how do we manage it?

The Energy vs Climate show partnered with Solar Alberta to produce a live in-conference podcast at the 2021 Solar Show. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the role of PV generation in Alberta and what its growth could mean for the electricity grid, jobs, and Canada's climate targets. In particular, David and Ed debated the pros and cons of Alberta producing its own solar power versus importing it from jurisdictions like Arizona, with David arguing hard for the latter. As you'll hear, given that it was at a Solar Alberta conference, he once again showed his fearless ability to walk into a “room,” even a virtual one, and tell people exactly what they don’t want to hear.
