How many credits you can make depends on the amount of energy your site produces. In Alberta the number of credits you are entitled to create is calculated using a simple formula: Number of credits, stated in metric tons of CO2-equivalent emissions (tCO2e) = Megawatt hours x Emissions Factor So, let’s say your site produces 1,000 megawatt hours in solar energy this year. With the current emissions factor set at 0.53 (2023), this would entitle you to create 530 credits.
