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
Reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions company-wide by 2050 requires commitment to innovation and close collaboration with regulators and policymakers.

The impacts and aftermath of a major flooding event in Edmonton would be considerable. We're investing in critical asset protection or relocation to prevent flood-related structural damage, as well as measures to prevent backflow from waste stream outfalls and overland flood inundation.
Learn how we're protecting our infrastructure
EPCOR's flood mitigation program is designed to protect homes, businesses and essential services from significant urban flooding caused by large rainfall events. The plan outlines our approach to slow, move, secure, predict and respond to flooding events to prevent or reduce their impacts.

In addition to greening our energy supply, we're looking at all operations to reduce our environmental footprint. We're eliminating PCBs from electrical equipment, and we're optimizing our fleet to reduce fuel consumption. We're also protecting water quality of the North Saskatchewan River.
See how we're reducing our footprint
Building community resilience is about helping our customers reduce their own environmental footprint as well as strengthening our assets in the community. Some of these strategies include mitigating flood risks, modernizing the electricity grid, and increasing the supply of renewable natural gas.

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.
