The Solar Opportunity - Large Scale Investment Options - Solar Energy Society of Alberta

Presented on March 22, 2016 at MacEwan University in Edmonton. Speaker: Jared Donald, Vice President of Business Development, Amp Solar Solar is poised to come of age in Alberta. The province and municipalities are looking for clean alternatives to coal-fired electricity while solar installation and equipment costs are dropping. Solar systems are getting larger. 2015 has seen, for the first time, mega-watt size installations coming on line. Alberta presently has 9 MW of installed solar capacity. With over 150MW of solar projects in the planning stage, the province will soon be incorporating solar on a scale we have not seen before. What are the steps and costs to develop a solar farm project? How does Alberta's electricity market incorporate big solar? What is the investment opportunity for large scale solar in Alberta? Jared Donald is eminently qualified to address these questions.
