Supporting Development of CF Chinook’s Innovative Solar Pilot Project
Calgary’s largest shopping mall, the CF Chinook Centre, is approaching the final stages of its large-scale rooftop solar pilot project developed in partnership with ENMAX. As workers wrap up the installation of 1,900 panels on the mall’s roof, the team here at Compass Energy Consulting is proud to take part in an important step towards a sustainable grid in Alberta—supporting the project through consulting, engineering, feasibility analysis, financial forecasting, and more.
