The report looks at the timeline, structures and financing landscape for new renewables projects in these provinces and summarizes questions for lenders and developers looking to participate in Alberta’s more complex merchant market. In addition, it offers insight and as views from renewable energy lenders, developers, advisors and suppliers.
