Canada’s Clean Energy Boom and Why We Must Build Smarter

By 2025, global investment in energy is expected to hit $3.3 trillion, with two-thirds going towards clean technologies such as wind, solar, storage, and electrification. In Canada, this momentum is a necessity for the net-zero goal.

As electricity demands continue to rise across the country, with Ontario alone expecting a 75% increase by 2050, experts agree that we need to grow every part of the system. From generation to smart energy management, it is not just about the challenge with utilities but rethinking how and where we produce power.

Canada is seeing a shift in how we build as well. Many Indigenous partnerships are leading the way, with projects like the Oneida Energy Storage Project, which is majority-owned by the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation. Ten new renewables projects also launched in B.C. with Indigenous equity ownership of up to 51%. Policies like the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program further accelerate the transition toward community-led clean energy.

However, supply chain issues, permitting delays, and misinformation continue to slow progress, especially in smaller or rural communities.

Fortunately, Canada is ahead of the curve; we are already building. Over 18 GW of clean energy procurements are actively in motion, representing $34 billion in investment.

At Borrum Energy Solutions, we recognize this opportunity to make clean power personal. We offer self-assembled microgeneration turbines and towers to generate energy where it is needed most. Whether you are on-grid, off-grid, rural, or remote, we believe in energy that is both local and affordable. As Canada heads deeper into the Age of Electricity, we are building for the people and the places that are often hard or expensive to reach for big-energy plans.
