据The Energy Year网站3月25日卡尔加里报道，加拿大能源监管机构周二表示，2018-2023年，加拿大主要产油省阿尔伯塔的可再生能源发展将成为全国增长最快的省份。
到2023年，可再生能源在该省发电量的比重将从2017年的16%上升到26%。这表明发电量增加2吉瓦。
阿尔伯塔的绿色能源计划包括风能和太阳能项目，以及逐步淘汰燃煤电厂。
尽管该省因其油砂储量而闻名于世，但其丰富的阳光和风使其具备了用可再生能源取代燃煤发电的条件。
然而阿尔伯塔的可再生能源份额与邻近的不列颠哥伦比亚省等水电资源丰富的省份相比仍然相形见绌，后者拥有98%以上的份额。

Alberta to see Canada’s fastest growth in renewables
Canada’s main oil-producing province is set to see the nation’s fastest growth in renewable energy development from 2018 to 2023, the Canada Energy Regulator said The share of renewables in the province’s power generation capacity will grow to 26% in 2023, up from 16% in 2017. This reflects an addition of 2 GW of capacity.
Alberta’s green energy drive comprises wind and solar projects, alongside the phase-out of coal-fired power plants.
While the province is known globally for its oil sands deposits, the plentiful sun and wind of its prairie landscape have positioned it to replace coal-fired power with renewables.
Alberta’s renewables share is still dwarfed by hydropower-rich provinces such as neighbouring British Columbia, which boasts a more than 98% share.
