Kua mutu te tata ki te whitu marama te roa o te aukati i ngā whakaaetanga kaupapa pūngao whakahou e te kāwanatanga ā-rohe o Alberta i te taha hauauru o Kanata. I tīmata te kāwanatanga o Alberta ki te whakamutu i ngā whakaaetanga o ngā kaupapa pūngao whakahou mai i te marama o Ākuhata 2023, i te wā i tīmata ai te Komihana Ratonga Tūmatanui o te kawanatanga ki te tirotiro i te whakamahinga whenua me te whakahokinga mai o ngā rauemi.
Whai muri i te whakakorenga o te aukati i te 29 o Pēpuere, i kī te Pirimia o Alberta, a Danielle Smith, ka whai te kāwanatanga i tētahi huarahi "ahuwhenua tuatahi" mō ngā kaupapa pūngao hou a meake nei. Kei te whakamahere rātou ki te aukati i ngā kaupapa pūngao hou i runga i ngā whenua ahuwhenua e kiia ana he pai, he pai rānei te kaha ki te whakamakuku, me te whakatū anō hoki i tētahi rohe ārai 35km huri noa i ngā whenua e kiia ana e te kāwanatanga he whenua parakore.
I mihi te Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) ki te mutunga o te aukati, ā, i kī ia kāore e pā ki ngā kaupapa whakahaere, ki ngā kaupapa rānei kei te hangaia. Heoi, i kī te tari e matapaetia ana ka pāngia ngā kaupapa i roto i ngā tau torutoru e whai ake nei. I kī ia ko te aukati i ngā whakaaetanga "ka waihanga i tētahi āhuarangi o te koretake, ā, he pānga kino ki te whakapono o ngā kaipupuri moni ki Alberta."
"Ahakoa kua whakakorea te aukati, kei te mau tonu te koretake me te mōrearea mō ngā kaipupuri moni e hiahia ana ki te whai wāhi atu ki Kanata.'te mākete pūngao whakahou wera rawa atu o te ao,"ka mea te Perehitini me te Tumuaki o CanREA a Vittoria Bellissimo."Ko te mea nui kia tere, kia tika hoki te whakatinana i ēnei kaupapa here."
I kī te rōpū he "whakapouri" te whakatau a te kāwanatanga ki te aukati i te pūngao whakahou i ētahi wāhanga o te kawanatanga. I kīia ko te tikanga o tēnei ka ngaro i ngā hapori me ngā kaipupuri whenua ngā painga o te pūngao whakahou, pērā i te moni whiwhi taake me ngā utu rīhi.
"Kua roa te noho tahi o te hau me te pūngao rā me te whenua ahuwhenua whai hua," te kī a te rōpū. "Ka mahi tahi a CanREA me te kāwanatanga me te AUC ki te whai i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te haere tonu i ēnei ara whai hua."
Kei mua a Alberta i te whanaketanga o te pūngao whakahou o Kanata, e 92% o te tipu katoa o te kaha pūngao whakahou me te rokiroki o Kanata i te tau 2023, e ai ki a CanREA. I te tau kua hipa, i tāpirihia e Kanata te 2.2 GW o te kaha pūngao whakahou hou, tae atu ki te 329 MW o te pūngao rā tauine-whaipainga me te 24 MW o te pūngao rā kei te papaanga.
I kī a CanREA ka taea te whakamahi i ētahi atu kaupapa e 3.9 GW i te tau 2025, me ētahi atu kaupapa kua whakaarohia e 4.4 GW ka whakamahia i muri mai. Engari i whakatūpatohia kei te "mōrearea" ēnei kaupapa ināianei.
E ai ki te International Energy Agency, ka eke te kaha o te hiko o te rā o Kanata ki te 4.4 GW i te mutunga o te tau 2022. Ko Alberta te tuarua me te 1.3 GW o te kaha kua tāutahia, kei muri i a Ontario me te 2.7 GW. Kua whakatakotohia e te whenua he whāinga kia 35 GW te kaha katoa o te hiko o te rā i te tau 2050.
