Powering communities, powering possibilities.
By transforming lower-yield land into a thriving hub of solar energy and sustainable sheep grazing, Rising Sun will help redefine the future of renewable energy generation and agriculture in Alberta.
The power of farming. The future of energy.
We're on a mission for Albertans to future proof the energy grid
Rising Sun will generate clean energy to the growing energy needs of Albertans for decades to come.
Rising Sun will provide enough energy to provide all of Provost’s electrical needs. The excess energy will be sold into the Alberta power grid. Expanding our energy options is essential for creating new forms of prosperity, giving Albertans more power to do what they do best—innovate.

Agrovoltaics
Solar and agriculture working together for a greener future.
Using 600 acres of lower-yielding land unsuitable for traditional farming, our agrovoltaic approach combines solar panels with sheep grazing to boost sustainability. The sheep help manage vegetation naturally, reducing the need for herbicides and lawn mowing, which can kick up stones and damage panels while preventing overgrowth that could block sunlight from reaching the solar panels. This innovative approach reduces land degradation and maximizes land efficiency, supporting renewable energy and sustainable agriculture in harmony with the environment.
Benefits of Solar
Rising Sun invests in rural Alberta, showing how renewable energy and agriculture can thrive together.
Partnering with the community.
The production lifespan for the Rising Sun solar project is measured in decades, and our partnership with the local farmers will serve as a model for sustainable land-use, provide economic prosperity to the community, allow farmers to control how their land is best utilized.
Powering Albertans.
The energy produced by Rising Sun will contribute to the ever-growing electricity needs of homeowners and businesses in the Provost province, while reducing the carbon footprint on the existing power grid.
Providing long-term benefits.
As electricity demand continues to rise in Alberta, so does the need to develop long-term environmentally responsible power generation options. The Rising Sun solar project is expected to provide power to the grid for over 20 years while maintaining farming operations on the land its situated on.
Careers
Sustainable solar is lighting the path to new jobs in Provost.
This project will create 300 jobs over the next 3 years, brining both sustainable power and significant economic benefits to the community.
