MD OF TABER: RENUWELL
In Southern Alberta, conventional oil and gas fields are declining in production, leaving companies and landowners burdened with massive reclamation liabilities. At the same time, wind and solar power developers are competing for access to agricultural land.
The RenuWell Project demonstrates how legacy oil and gas infrastructure can be repurposed for community solar development, cutting down on the cost of reclamation and saving valuable farmland for agricultural use.
RenuWell received $2.3 million through the Municipal Community Generation Challenge to build two pilot sites in the Municipal District of Taber.
