The Government of Alberta is investing $33.7 million in 13 projects through Emissions Reduction Alberta’s (ERA) Reshaping Energy Systems funding competition. These projects, valued at approximately $88 million in public and private investment, focus on technologies that will reduce emissions and contribute to a more flexible and sustainable energy grid in Alberta.

Projects are focused on expanding Alberta’s hydrogen fueling station infrastructure, studying the feasibility of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRs), using ultrasonic sensors and Artificial Intelligence to predict power line failures, and more. All funding is sourced from the Government of Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund.

“We are investing in innovative energy projects that will make Alberta’s power grid more reliable, lower emissions and grow the economy, while helping bring Alberta’s energy systems into the 21st century.”

Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas.

“This investment supports the modernization of Alberta’s energy systems, allowing us to demonstrate new technologies that will improve the competitiveness and efficiency of Alberta’s energy systems and reduce our emissions.”
