艾伯塔省在洛基斯附近的新的风禁令 使平彻溪的可再生增长停止了快速扩张 Alberta's new wind ban near Rockies stalls Pincher Creek's renewable growth, ending rapid expansion.

艾伯塔省平彻溪曾经是加拿大的风能之都，拥有 255 台涡轮机，发电量近 511 兆瓦，但由于新的省级规定，其可再生能源雄心正停滞不前。 Pincher Creek, Alberta, once Canada’s wind capital with 255 turbines generating nearly 511 megawatts, is seeing its renewable energy ambitions stall due to new provincial rules. 落基山脉周围一个35公里的缓冲区禁止新的风力项目,停止扩展,使老化涡轮机的再能力努力复杂化。 A 35-kilometre buffer zone around the Rocky Mountains bans new wind projects, halting expansion and complicating repowering efforts for aging turbines. 虽然一些居民支持更新旧涡轮机,以减少视觉影响和维持能源产出,但另一些居民仍然对新的基础设施保持警惕。 While some residents support upgrading old turbines to reduce visual impact and maintain energy output, others remain wary of new infrastructure. 当地领导人说,快速增长的时代可能已经结束,在清洁能源目标和土地使用偏好之间持续紧张的情况下,该镇将重点转向农业。 Local leaders say the era of rapid growth has likely ended, with the town shifting focus back toward agriculture amid ongoing tensions between clean energy goals and land use preferences.
