Alberta Indigenous Economic Development Consulting

Working in Alberta

A Calgary base, and Alberta energy in our bones

Solarcor's energy practice was built in Alberta. A decade of oil and gas engineering here, across reservoir work, completions, and production economics, means we read the province's deregulated electricity market, its net metering rules, and its funding landscape from the inside.

That grounding matters when an Alberta First Nation or Métis community is weighing a real project. We bring honest, economics-first feasibility, the funding strategy to pay for it, and the delivery discipline to get it built and owned locally. We work across Treaty 6, 7, and 8 territories and with Alberta's Métis Settlements, always governed by OCAP® principles so data, decisions, and ownership stay with the community.

What we have done in Alberta. We advised a major Canadian electricity producer on net-zero strategy, contributing to a $5M Emissions Reduction Alberta award, won $1M from Alberta Innovates for a world-first imaging technology, and secured net metering and rebate approvals including a 200 kW downtown Calgary flat-roof array approved under Alberta's former solar rebate program.

Common Questions

Alberta questions we hear most

Do you work with both First Nations and Métis communities in Alberta?

Yes. We work with First Nations across Treaty 6, 7, and 8 territories and with Métis communities, including Alberta's Métis Settlements. Every engagement is governed by OCAP® principles so data and ownership stay with the community.

Which Alberta funding programs do you work with?

Provincial programs including Emissions Reduction Alberta and Alberta Innovates, the province's net metering framework, plus the full slate of federal programs. We advised on net-zero work contributing to a $5M ERA award and won $1M from Alberta Innovates.

Where in Alberta are you based?

Our energy practice is based in Calgary, and we travel to communities across the province. A decade of Alberta oil and gas engineering means we understand the province's energy market from the inside.
