Utilities commission greenlights 42,000-panel solar farm near Killam

.

A new 42,000-panel solar farm in central Alberta is going ahead after approval by the Alberta Utilities Commission.

The farm is set to be built by PACE Canada Development LP just north of Killam in Alberta, about 170 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.

It's an example of how the solar industry in the province continues to grow, even after a seven-month moratorium on renewable energy projects was announced by the provincial government in August 2023.
