Ua pau ka moratorium kokoke i ʻehiku mahina i ka ʻae ʻana o ka papahana ikehu hou e ke aupuni panalāʻau o Alberta ma ke komohana o Kanada.Ua hoʻomaka ke aupuni ʻo Alberta e hoʻokuʻu i ka ʻae ʻana i nā papahana ikehu hou e hoʻomaka ana i ʻAukake 2023, i ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ke Komisina Hoʻonaʻauao Aupuni o ka panalāʻau i kahi hoʻokolokolo e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻāina a me ka hana hou ʻana.
Ma hope o ka hāpai ʻana i ka pāpā ʻana i ka lā 29 Pepeluali, ʻōlelo ʻo Alberta Premier Danielle Smith e lawe ke aupuni i kahi "mahiʻai mua" i nā papahana ikehu hou e hiki mai ana.Hoʻolālā ʻo ia e pāpā i nā papahana ikehu hou ma ka ʻāina mahiʻai i manaʻo ʻia he maikaʻi a maikaʻi paha ka wai irrigation, ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i 35km buffer zone a puni ka mea i manaʻo ʻia e ke aupuni he mau ʻāina maʻemaʻe.
Ua hoʻokipa ka Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) i ka pau ʻana o ka pāpā a ʻōlelo ʻia ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopilikia i nā hana hana a i ʻole nā mea i kūkulu ʻia.Eia naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ka ʻoihana e manaʻo ʻia ka hopena i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ka pāpā ʻana i nā ʻae "e hana i kahi ʻano o ka maopopo ʻole a he hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka hilinaʻi o nā mea hoʻopukapuka ma Alberta."
“ʻOiai ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia ka moratorium, nui ka kānalua a me ka pilikia no nā mea hoʻopukapuka e ʻimi nei e komo i Kanada'ʻO ka mākeke ikehu hou loa,”wahi a CanREA Pelekikena a me Luna Nui ʻo Vittoria Bellissimo.“ʻO ke kī e kiʻi pololei i kēia mau kulekele, a me ka wikiwiki.”
Ua ʻōlelo ka hui ʻo ka hoʻoholo a ke aupuni e pāpā i ka ikehu hou i nā ʻāpana o ka panalāʻau he "hōʻino."Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ka manaʻo e nele nā kaiāulu kūloko a me nā mea nona ka ʻāina i nā pōmaikaʻi o ka ikehu hou, e like me ka loaʻa kālā ʻauhau a me nā uku hoʻolimalima.
"Ua lōʻihi ka noho pū ʻana o ka makani a me ka ikehu lā me ka ʻāina mahiʻai waiwai," wahi a ka hui."E hana pū ʻo CanREA me ke aupuni a me ka AUC e ʻimi i nā manawa kūpono e hoʻomau i kēia mau ala pono."
Aia ʻo Alberta ma mua o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ikehu hou o Kanada, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka 92% o ka nui o ka ikehu hou a me ka ulu ʻana o ka mālama ʻana ma 2023, e like me CanREA.I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻohui ʻo Canada i ka 2.2 GW o ka mana ikehu hou, me 329 MW o ka solar-scale a me 24 MW o ka lā ma ka pūnaewele.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo CanREA he 3.9 GW hou o nā papahana hiki ke hele mai ma ka pūnaewele ma 2025, me kahi 4.4 GW hou o nā papahana i manaʻo ʻia e hele mai ma ka pūnaewele ma hope.Akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kēia manawa "i ka pilikia".
Wahi a ka International Energy Agency, hiki i ka nui o ka mana o ka lā o Canada i ka 4.4 GW ma ka hopena o 2022. Aia ʻo Alberta i ka lua me 1.3 GW o ka mana hoʻokomo, ma hope o Ontario me 2.7 GW.Ua hoʻonohonoho ka ʻāina i ka pahuhopu o ka nui o ka mana solar o 35 GW e 2050.
