Medicine Hat: One of Canada's Sunniest Cities for Solar

Medicine Hat has some of the highest solar production in all of Canada at 1,330 kWh/kW, thanks to its southeastern Alberta location and exceptional sunshine – over 2,500 hours annually.

Medicine Hat is unique – the city owns its own electric utility including generation, distribution, and retail. This means Medicine Hat is NOT part of Alberta’s deregulated market. The city’s HAT Smart program offers a residential solar rebate of $0.20/watt ($200/kW), up to $1,000, open in 2026.
