Project Overview

The Peace River Energy Project: A cooperatively-owned, grid-tied utility-scale solar farm in the Peace River Region of Alberta slated for construction in 2024.

• Western Canada’s first cooperatively financed, owned & operated utility-scale solar farm, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing pollution-free energy to the local grid.

• Local job creation and economic diversification in the green energy sector. Our priority is local hiring and local training.

• Community participation and pride through local ownership of renewable energy infrastructure.

• Sustainable agricultural practices that honour the water, land, and biodiversity, generally referred to as “agrivoltaics” are prioritized and integrated within the facility.

• A financial return on investments is expected.

• PREP will be the first of many. It will create a template for other community-owned utility-scale renewable energy projects.
