Alberta fires latest salvos in ‘war’ on renewable energy

The measures include a solar panel “eco-fee” and standardized rules for locating wind and solar projects as the province delays a playbook for energy developers to 2028.

Alberta fires latest salvos in ‘war’ on renewable energy. This is very revealing. The Alberta govt knows that, unassisted, oil and gas can no longer compete with renewables. So its doing everything it can to hold back the inevitable. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/29/a...

www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/29/a... Dani's new plan imposes $14 “eco-fee” on EACH new solar panel installed in AB as of October — both utility-scale projects & rooftop panels on homes & businesses. New expense & complexity to doing business in the Canadian home of O&G!

How about some 'eco-fees' for the $270 BILLION in unfunded cleanup costs for oil & gas wells / mines / pipelines? [internal estimate from the Alberta Energy Regulator] The hypocrisy of the Smith government knows no bounds. #EnergyTransition #DirtyEnergy www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/29/a...
