RenuWell takes abandoned oil wells - there are 170,000 in Alberta and transforms them into revenue-producing, tax-paying solar farms. It's energy transition at its finest and it re-establishes lease payments to landowners and pays taxes to the municipalities that were lost when the well was abandoned.
We visit Taber, Alberta to see two pilot projects and speak with Darryl Bennett about how the idea works, who is interested in doing this and why the idea isn't taking off like crazy.
