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.
The partnership developed between EVenture communities demonstrates collaborative leadership on addressing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation while supporting economic development and enhancing tourism opportunities.
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
