When considering where Alberta gets its electricity, it’s important to note that the province predominantly relies on natural gas and coal for its energy production. This reliance is mainly due to Alberta’s rich natural gas resources, which make wild gas-fired power plants a significant player in the region’s electricity generation landscape. Additionally, coal has traditionally been a substantial power source, although there is a current shift towards reducing dependence on it due to environmental concerns. In recent years, Alberta has been increasingly tapping into renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. This shift is part of a broader effort to transition towards cleaner, more sustainable energy sources, aiming to lessen the environmental impact of electricity generation. The province’s energy landscape is evolving, with a clear trend towards integrating more renewables into the mix, reflecting a growing commitment to sustainable energy practices.
