EDMONTON — Alberta's utilities regulator has released a report saying the province's booming renewables industry poses little threat to its agriculture or the environment.
The report is the first of two the United Conservative government asked the commission to produce as part of its inquiry into the province's booming solar and wind power industry. The release of the report comes shortly after the government removed its six-month moratorium on approvals for new renewables generation.
The report said the proliferation of wind and solar projects will likely be more concentrated in some parts of the province than others. The commission said there's no consensus on what landscapes should be protected for their scenic value.
