Planting SEEDS - Southeast Alberta Energy Diversification Strategy

The growing realization that solar and wind energy are emerging industries in Alberta led to a collaboration between partners to explore the potential employment-related impacts of these industries in Southeast Alberta.

Southeast Alberta has abundant solar and wind resources and a lengthy energy history. For over a century, non-renewable energy sources from fossil fuels have produced most of Alberta’s energy. Renewable energy sources are increasingly being utilized to diversify Alberta’s energy supply. As solar and wind energy projects increase in Alberta, new economic and employment opportunities are being created.
