New requirements for Alberta power generators including wind and solar projects will create further problems for a booming renewables industry, said an industry advocate. Read on.

On Sept. 6, the Alberta Utilities Commission released a series of interim information requests that those proposing new projects will be required to answer. The requests apply to all proposals, including renewable projects already under a six-month approval moratorium imposed by the United Conservative Party government.

During the six months, the commission is to hold an inquiry into how to regulate Alberta’s renewables industry — the largest in the country and responsible for billions of dollars in investment, millions of dollars in taxes and thousands of jobs. While the inquiry is underway, power proposals must answer the commission’s interim requirements.Dye said the commission’s questions around land use, agricultural impacts and reclamation are reasonable.

“The interim information requirements bring this information-gathering exercise to the front-end of the proceeding,” he wrote.Article content Opposition New Democrat energy critic Kathleen Ganley said the interim information requests have muddied already murky waters.She pointed to letters received by the commission from renewable energy companies warning Alberta’s investment reputation is at risk.
