Medicine Hat, Alberta, plans to invest $131.5 million in the Saamis Solar Park project, starting with a 75-megawatt phase, pending an energy purchase agreement. The initiative aims to create business opportunities, reduce carbon levies, and extend the life of existing gas turbines, with hopes of meeting the city’s entire electricity demand by 2028. While there is local opposition regarding potential utility cost increases, city officials maintain that the project will not impact property taxes or utility bills.
