flag Alberta's new wind ban near Rockies stalls Pincher Creek's renewable growth, ending rapid expansion.

flag Pincher Creek, Alberta, once Canada’s wind capital with 255 turbines generating nearly 511 megawatts, is seeing its renewable energy ambitions stall due to new provincial rules. flag A 35-kilometre buffer zone around the Rocky Mountains bans new wind projects, halting expansion and complicating repowering efforts for aging turbines. flag While some residents support upgrading old turbines to reduce visual impact and maintain energy output, others remain wary of new infrastructure. flag Local leaders say the era of rapid growth has likely ended, with the town shifting focus back toward agriculture amid ongoing tensions between clean energy goals and land use preferences.
