The article discusses the development of the 400 MW Travers solar project in Alberta, Canada, by Greengate Power. Despite the political shift towards the oil and gas industry with the United Conservative Party's rise to power, solar capacity in Alberta has increased significantly. The Travers project, which will generate approximately 800 million kWh per year, is part of a broader trend of growing utility-scale solar projects in the province. The article highlights the challenges faced by the oil and gas sector, including low oil prices and environmental concerns, which have led to job losses and economic decline. However, the solar sector is seen as a growth area, attracting investments and offering opportunities for oil and gas workers to transition to renewable energy jobs. The article also touches on the perceived lack of federal support for the renewable sector compared to the oil and gas industry.
