Solar and Energy Costs in and Around Cochrane
Cochrane is a town of 32,199 people, up nearly 25% between 2016 and 2021, about 18 km west of Calgary's city limits where Highways 1A and 22 meet. Rocky View County surrounds it. Lumber, construction, retail and ranching make up the local economy, and Cochrane is one of very few Canadian communities with no business tax. The Cochrane Ranche Historic Site recalls the ranching roots.
Most of the growth has been housing, which is outside our focus. The properties we work with here are the commercial and light industrial buildings, and the ranches and acreages in the foothills country to the north and west. Those often have shops, barns or outbuildings with their own meters.
For a commercial building, the questions are daytime load, roof size and demand charges. For a ranch or acreage, they are which meter carries the load, and whether trees, slope or snow limit where panels can go.
