ENMAX flips the switch on solar installation

“We are committed to energy solutions that improve our direct use of cleaner sources of electricity,” said Gianna Manes, President and CEO, ENMAX Corporation. ”This solar installation will provide us with excellent knowledge and insight that we can apply to both our home solar product offering and the commercial line currently under development.”

The new system, installed at head office ENMAX Place, will provide about 57,000 kilowatt hours of renewable energy each year. The output will be monitored daily via a web-based program that provides real-time data.

ENMAX Energy Corporation is also celebrating a significant milestone. Adding up all the ENMAX Energy installed solar panels on homes across the province, more than one million kilowatt hours have been generated as of this summer this is roughly equivalent to how much electricity is needed to run 1,600 average homes for one month. The program consists of an innovative leasing offer and continues to gain speed as sign-ups increase year over year. The initiative is supported by the Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation CCEMC. The CCEMCÂ’s mandate is to establish or participate in funding initiatives that reduce GHG emissions or improve AlbertaÂ’s ability to adapt to climate change.
