A Leader in Power Project Development
BowMont has led several successful project developments on behalf of partners and clients. Opportunities have been both originated by BowMont or by clients. Where BowMont has originated greenfield opportunities our approach has been to bring in strategic partners and investors. BowMont typically leads the development and takes responsibility for all project debt and equity financings to deliver fully financed, shovel-ready projects.
Development projects which BowMont has led to date:
COALDALE / MONARCH / VULCAN BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE PROJECTS
(45MW / 93MWh – 3 Sites, Southern Alberta)
BowMont led the development of 3 battery storage projects at the existing Coaldale, Monarch and Vulcan solar project sites. The projects are the first utility scale, co-located solar + battery storage sites in Alberta. In addition to project development activities, BowMont led the successful application for NRCan grant funding which resulted in a grant of $45.8 million under the Smart Renewables and Electrification Pathways (“SREPs”) program. The projects commenced construction in Q2 of 2023 and reached commercial operation in Q2 2024.

AMISK HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT
(360 MW – Fairview, Alberta)
BowMont conceived of the idea for the Amisk Hydroelectric Project (AHP), a 360MW run-of-river hydroelectric project located on the Peace River near the town of Fairview, Alberta. BowMont raised an initial round of private equity investment to perform geotechnical drilling in the river and complete a detailed pre-feasibility report confirming the viability of the project. The project has raised additional private equity investment in subsequent rounds and the project remains in active development.
