High River is a town of about 14,300 at Highways 2 and 23, with heavy snow and a river that has flooded. QuotePath factors both into where equipment goes.
High River is a town of 14,324 people in Foothills County, about 68 km south of Calgary where Highways 2 and 23 meet. Industries grew after the First World War, a flying training school boosted the economy in the Second World War, and today the town is known for heritage tourism, film production and the Museum of the Highwood. It was historically a crossing point for cattle and horses.
Two local conditions shape any energy project here. Snowfall averages about 175 cm a year, so roof and racking design should allow for snow load and shedding. And the 2013 floods on the Highwood River are a reason to think about where electrical equipment sits on a property, not only where panels go.
For businesses in town, we look at daytime load, roof size and demand charges. For ranches and farms outside it, we look at which meter carries the load, and at shading and snow on the site.
