Alberta to ban renewables on prime land, declare no-build zones for wind turbines

Swaths of land in Alberta will be barred from hosting renewable power projects under sweeping new rules that will govern the industry.

The changes, set to be announced Wednesday by Premier Danielle Smith and Utilities Minister Nathan Neudorf and obtained by The Globe and Mail, are the culmination of a ban on renewable approvals that lasted almost seven months.
