The Bow Valley Green Energy Cooperative in Canmore, Alberta has just wrapped up its fourth solar project in just a few years. This is blazing fast progress for green energy cooperatives in Canada that must navigate a network of challenging provincial electrical systems.

362. Bow Valley Green Energy Coop Takes Flight

Landmark Homes pioneered the most affordable net-zero homes in Canada and now the company has found the perfect home for their homes in Blatchford Carbon Neutral Community in Edmonton, Alberta. Their unique combination of solar and air-source heat pumps mean homeowners can wind up paying little or nothing for their utilities, a boon in an energy uncertain future. We talk to the company founder Reza Nasseri, Micah Dueck of Landmark and Kassandra Starkell and Martin Martinyiak a young couple who made their first home purchase a net-zero home. Oh, these net-zero homes also come with a battery storage system that's part of a pilot program to create a virtual power plant out of a network of similar homes.
