Alberta’s electricity sector has been undergoing significant changes in recent years. In the last five years, the province has retired nearly 87% (5.4GW) of its coal fleet, while nearly quadrupling its wind and solar capacity during the same period. Consequently, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity sector declined by 8.3Mt between 2018 and 2021 in Alberta.
