Sherwood Park is the urban service area of Strathcona County, located just east of Edmonton. As an urban service area rather than an incorporated city, it operates under Strathcona County bylaws for permitting. Solar irradiance is comparable to Edmonton , approximately 1,200 to 1,300 kWh per kilowatt per year on a south-facing roof.
FortisAlberta handles distribution for most Sherwood Park residential properties, and the area has a strong base of solar adopters. The county's CEIP program has been paused; we can add you to our notification list for updates.
Installation and Permitting

About Sherwood Park
Sherwood Park is one of Canada's largest urban areas without incorporated city status, home to approximately 70,000 people in the eastern Edmonton metro area. It's part of Strathcona County, which encompasses both the urban service area and a significant rural farming region extending east toward the Alberta oil sands corridor. The community has grown alongside Edmonton's suburban expansion and benefits from the same solar irradiance characteristics as the capital city.
