Technologies: Wind
Solas Energy has worked on utility-scale wind energy projects since our very beginning.
We have seen substantial developments in wind technology, as well as significant cost reductions through the years. Our services have evolved alongside those innovations to offer the most cutting-edge knowledge and development options for our utility-scale wind clients.
Recently, hybrid applications of wind power combined with solar and energy storage are being developed to take advantage of common infrastructure. Solas Energy has expert experience with these projects.
Solas Energy has done a great job for us. They have an intimate knowledge of the wind business in Alberta and provide thorough and professional results time and time again.

Solas Energy supports utility-scale wind projects from early-stage feasibility through construction, operations, and eventual repowering. Our Alberta roots give us direct, on-the-ground experience with the province’s wind resource, interconnection process, and regulatory environment — knowledge that carries over to wind projects we support across Canada and internationally.
Our wind services typically include:
- Wind resource assessment and site feasibility
- Interconnection strategy and system operator liaison
- Permitting and regulatory support, including environmental and visual/viewshed assessments
- Project and construction management
- Owner’s engineering and technical due diligence
- Operations support and performance monitoring
- Repowering assessments for aging wind assets
As wind technology has matured, so has the opportunity to extend the life of existing assets through repowering, or to pair wind with solar and storage on shared infrastructure. We help clients evaluate whether repowering, hybridization, or new development is the right next step for a given site.

Yes. While Solas Energy is headquartered in Calgary and has deep experience with Alberta’s wind market, our team supports utility-scale wind projects across Canada and internationally.
Repowering involves upgrading or replacing aging wind turbines and infrastructure to extend a project’s operating life and improve performance. Solas Energy provides repowering assessments to help asset owners decide whether repowering, life extension, or decommissioning makes the most sense for a given site.
Yes, we have experience developing hybrid applications that combine wind power with solar and energy storage on shared infrastructure, helping clients take advantage of common interconnection and site development costs.
We provide technical, economic, regulatory, and commercial due diligence for wind project acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures, including on-site visits to support investment decisions.
