TC Energy Corp. said it will start pre-construction work for the 81 MW Saddlebrook Solar Project near Aldersyde, Alberta, around 40 miles south of Calgary.
The diversified energy company plans to invest C$146 million ($107 million) to build its first Canadian solar power project.
Initial construction will involve installing solar panels on TC Energy property in a local industrial park.
The project is partially supported by C$10 million from Emissions Reduction Alberta. The funding supports a hybrid solar generation facilities, which, when combined with a flow battery energy storage system, is expected to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Alberta.
