Alberta Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Acciona Energy Canada Global Inc. (ACCIONA Energía) is proposing to construct and operate the Lone Butte Solar Farm, a clean and efficient solar power generation facility to help address the ongoing need for renewable energy.
The 450 MWac/585 MWdc project is located seven kilometers southwest of the Hamlet of Torrington, Alberta, on approximately 2,000 acres of privately owned and cultivated land.
