Sturgeon County’s solar investment is the first of its kind in the region.
With 312 state-of-the-art solar modules, our Protective Services Headquarters building has had an impactful makeover.
The dark-coloured panels on the roof and the building exterior will deliver significant benefits to our community including production of 113,300 kWh per year — that’s enough to power 14.5 Alberta homes with electricity for one year! This results in an estimated annual reduction of 64.5 tonnes of GHG emissions.
