Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (EPA) Regulatory Assurance Division has published a guidance document for *Wind and Solar Renewable Energy Operation Registration Applications*, [available here](https://open.alberta.ca/publications/wind-solar-renewable-energy-operation-registration-applications-guidance-document).  
  
The guidance document contains application checklists and information needed to complete a registration with EPA for a wind and solar renewable energy operation and all required reporting for the life span of the operation. This document compliments the *Code of Practice for Solar and Wind Renewable Energy Operations* and the *Conservation and Reclamation Directive for Renewable Energy Operations* both of which set the legal authority and mandatory requirements for wind and solar operations.
