Alberta (Canada) slaps punitive tax on solar panels

Alberta's provincial government announced a new tax on solar photovoltaic panels, described as punitive, that will be added to the purchase price of the equipment. The measure is expected to raise the cost of residential and commercial solar installations, potentially slowing the province's renewable‑energy growth and prompting criticism from industry groups and consumers alike across the province in 2024.
