2014 onwards
The Raymond Electrical Net Zero initiative in the Town of Raymond, AB, is the 2020 winner in the energy category of FCM’s Sustainable Communities Awards.
The Town’s nine solar PV arrays are expected to generate over 1300 MWh of renewable electricity annually, saving nearly 700 tonnes of CO2 each year—a savings of 17,000 tonnes of emissions over the system’s minimum 25-year lifetime. The Town took advantage of provincial grants to explore alternative energy options. The project is funded with a provincial rebate and a 15-year financing arrangement with the solar PV contractor.
