Powering Ahead: Navigating Alberta’s Evolving Regulatory and Environmental Landscape for Generation Projects
Presented by the CBA Alberta Natural Resources (South) & Environmental Law (South) Sections
Alberta's regulatory landscape for power generation continues to evolve, with recent developments affecting project approvals, environmental permitting, and municipal land use requirements. This presentation will examine emerging legal and regulatory issues affecting the development of new generation facilities, drawing on recent facilities application decisions, environmental approval processes, and municipal regulatory developments.
Topics will include recent developments in facilities applications, environmental permitting requirements and timelines, the interaction between municipal and provincial jurisdiction over generation development, and regulatory considerations associated with emerging generation models.
The presentation will focus on the practical implications of these developments for regulatory strategy, project siting, and approval timelines.
