Ontario’s Distributed Energy Resources (DER) study & other steps towards adopting renewables

As North America navigates the transition from traditional fossil fuel-based energy to renewable alternatives, various regions are exploring solutions like Distributed Energy Resources (DER). In this morning’s interview, Catherine Jefferey from Clean Energy Canada discusses a program designed to reduce costs for Ontario ratepayers by an estimated $1.8 billion to $3.5 billion annually. The discussion also covers progress in utility-scale battery storage, Canada’s adoption of renewables, and the prospects for transitioning away from fossil fuels.

Renewable energy project cancellations in Alberta hit alarming milestone

Cancelled wind, solar and storage projects exceed province’s average total power demand

Press release from the Pembina Institute

EDMONTON — August 21, 2025: Clean energy projects cancelled since the start of Alberta’s renewables moratorium could have generated more than Alberta’s average total power demand (109 per cent), according to new analysis from the Pembina Institute.

Since October 2023, projects amounting to almost 11 gigawatts (GW) of wind, solar and energy storage have been withdrawn from the Alberta Electric System Operator project development queue. Though not all proposed projects make it all the way to completion, cancellations for renewables over the last two years have been concerningly high, at 44 per cent. By comparison, 11 per cent of gas capacity proposed in the same timeframe has been cancelled.
