2024 Performance
- Approximately 10 per cent of our fleet now consists of hybrid or electric vehicles.
- We safely relocated an osprey nest to an artificial nesting platform in Banff National Park.
- All recommendation from our 2023 energy audit were implemented across several locations in 2024.
Sustainability in Action: Hard at work for our feathered friends
Osprey returning to Alberta’s Banff National Park each spring now have a safer place to nest after mitigation work performed by AltaLink in 2023. When osprey nests were discovered along AltaLink’s transmission line between the Town of Banff and Lake Louise, deterrents were installed where needed, and artificial nesting platforms added in safer positions on the structures.

Sustainable Electricity Leader
In 2014, AltaLink was honoured to be the first electricity transmission company, and only the second electricity company in Canada to receive Electricity Canada’s Sustainable Electricity LeaderTM designation.
The designation is eligible for renewal every five years. In 2019, AltaLink became the first Canadian utility to be re-designated, reflecting our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our customers, communities and employees through sustainable business practices.
The designation was developed for utility companies across Canada and requires utilities to commit to standards for environmental and social responsibility. In addition to the standards, companies must also pass a third-party external verification of their observance to the standard.
