Canadian renewables firm Westbridge Renewable Energy has received approval from the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) to build an up to 225MW solar-plus-storage plant in Alberta, Canada.

The AUC has granted approval to Finnish investor Korkia to build two solar PV projects in Alberta, Canada, with a combined capacity of 430MW.

The government of Alberta has implemented a new “agriculture-first” approach to approving projects, on land in the Canadian province.

Canadian renewables firm Westbridge Renewable Energy will complete the first transaction of one of its five definitive agreements with Greek developer Mytilineos’ subsidiary, Metka.

The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) has announced a 6-month moratorium on renewable energy project developments above 1MW in size, primarily to review concerns around land use.
