The Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley (BIBV) and the Bow Valley Green Energy Co-operative (BVGEC) are working collaboratively to bring people together to create community-owned renewable energy developments. Community generation projects can cost upwards of $1 million, rendering them relatively unaffordable. To address this financial barrier, BVGEC uses community financing to fund and install renewable energy systems for on-site electricity generation within the context of Alberta’s Micro-Generation Regulation. This twist creates an economically viable solution to community generation and provides opportunities for individuals to support local energy generation development. This project will exhibit the viability of this model by installing a community-owned, micro-generation demonstration project on the Willow Ridge Community Association (WRCA) in Calgary. BIBV will also offer educational opportunities to promote this model and engage the community in future projects.
