Green companies say Alberta’s target for renewable energy should be law
EDMONTON — Green energy groups have joined an environmental think tank in calling on the Alberta government to legislate firm targets for renewable power.
The Pembina Institute and a number of green energy firms say in a letter to Premier Rachel Notley and others in her government that the province has shown strong leadership in its Climate Leadership Plan.
But the letter says there are questions about how the targets will be enforced and what considerations would lead to a deviation from the targets.
The government is moving to phase out coal-fired power by 2030 and simultaneously triple renewable energy’s share of the power supply to 30 per cent.
