“We have no intention of retroactively cancelling good faith contracts,” Kenney told reporters on Sunday. “My commitment last night was for a future United Conservative government to no longer provide subsidies to uneconomic wind and solar power generation, because every additional kilowatt-hour of higher uneconomic wind and solar generated power raises the rates for Albertans.”

Some of these projects will be operational by the end of 2019, while others are coming online mid-2021.

And, between those three rounds of contracts, the province says power will cost between 3.7 and 4.0 cents per kilowatt-hour, weighted, on average.

“You’re trying to go back to the glory days of the fossil fuel industry where there’s a cheaper alternative in front of you.”
