EVenture Northwest Alberta

EVenture northwest AB is a community-driven, collaborative program seeking to build a Level 3 (DC Fast Charger) EV charging network across west/central Alberta. It is a multi-year initiative supported by an Advisory Committee consisting of representatives from nine different local governments across the region. The project, facilitated by Community Energy Association, will create a Level 3 EV charging station network and provide connectivity across the region, to neighbouring  regions such as B.C. and major urban centres including Edmonton and Calgary.

This region-wide EV initiative is a unique opportunity to build an effective network and represents a major infrastructure investment in west/central Alberta. A notable gap in the current EV charging infrastructure in place across Alberta. Furthermore, it will substantively:

• Increase tourism by electric vehicle drivers to the region
• Address the gap of Level 3 EV charging stations in the region
• Facilitate the transition to low-emission vehicle ownership locally
• Support market transformation of vehicle purchases
• Reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions
