TC Energy Corporation will begin preconstruction activities of the Saddlebrook Solar Project located near Aldersyde, Alberta. TC Energy is investing C$146 million ($107 million) to build its first Canadian solar power project. It has the capacity to generate 81 megawatts (MW), enough energy to power 20,000 homes annually. The initial construction includes installing solar panels on TC Energy property in the local industrial park.
