Installed capacity of 150 megawatts (MW)
Project overview
Blue Bridge Solar Park will be located in Cypress County, Alberta, south of where the South Saskatchewan River crosses from Alberta into Saskatchewan. Cypress County is one of Canada’s sunniest counties with an average of 300 sunny days per year. Blue Bridge Solar Park will complement the area’s landscape while harnessing the region’s abundant sun.
Blue Bridge Solar Park yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Blue Bridge Solar Park is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
