Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced Wednesday that the province will be ending its ban on renewable energy projects on Feb. 29 after a six month moratorium.

"Alberta is Canada's leader on renewable energy — in fact, as much as 92 per cent of the renewables investment that happened in Canada in 2023 happened in Alberta. Our unique deregulated electricity market and competitive tax system mean that we are Canada's hub for investment," Smith said.

The pause was to allow the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) to conduct an inquiry into electricity generation in the province. The province said it would look at the classes of land renewable energy projects were installed on, their impact on vistas, reclamation security requirements for renewable projects and the impact of renewables on the electricity supply mix and reliability in the province.

Smith made the announcement alongside Minister of Affordability and Utilities Nathan Neudorf.
