We are working to create a culture of environmental leadership, starting with our people. Our employees are empowered to become early adopters of new technologies and operating practices that help improve our environmental footprint. We promote innovative solutions to environmental and climate change challenges—from reducing greenhouse gasses to protecting our water resources.
At EPCOR, we're reducing our own environmental footprint and we're helping communities and customers reduce theirs. Our strategy helps build resiliency in our infrastructure and the communities we serve.
Review the strategy

The E.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant supplies more than 65% of all the water consumed in Edmonton and our surrounding communities. And because of the electrical energy needed to pump water, it's also EPCOR's second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Learn how a smart grid will reduce emissions
Edmonton operations will be 100% powered by clean electricity, using wind and solar energy. Between the E.L. Smith Solar Farm and a new wind farm in southern Alberta, we'll significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
