Canmore Community Solar - Feasibility Study Results

Thank you to all those who attended our community launch.

We recently introduced Canmore to the the Bow Valley Green Energy Cooperative (BVGEC).

Below you will find our presentation and a summary of questions and answers from our audience. We hope this will give you a good overview of the cooperative, our projects and membership and investor opportunities.

The Biosphere Institute, along with our project partners, began a feasibility study to investigate the viability of a community-owned solar project in Canmore early in 2019. During this process, the Biosphere Institute joined with local community members to form a small steering committee, to investigate community financing options and suitable site locations.

This committee has now formalized and created 'Bow Valley Green Energy'.

This event took place at artsPlace (Canmore, AB) on 11 February 2020.
