Offshore Wind: Canada’s Next Big Leap in Renewable Energy

Canada is on the brink of unlocking one of its most untapped renewable energy resources—offshore wind. With the introduction of Bill C-49, the country is positioning itself to harness the incredible power of its vast coastal winds.

Nova Scotia alone has the potential to generate 938 GW of electricity from offshore wind—enough to power millions of homes and kickstart a homegrown green hydrogen industry. This could propel Canada toward its net-zero goals while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.​

Globally, offshore wind energy is seeing rapid growth. Countries like the UK and Denmark have successfully integrated it into their power grids, and with over 64 GW of installed capacity worldwide. The cost of offshore wind energy has dramatically dropped, making it increasingly competitive. Canada, with its abundant natural resources and skilled workforce, is poised to join the ranks of global leaders in this field​.

By providing clean energy solutions for off-grid and dwelling communities, Borrum Energy Solutions helps dwelling owners reduce their carbon footprints. As Canada’s energy landscape shifts towards greater adoption of renewable technologies, Borrum’s expertise in microgeneration will continue to play a crucial role in the country's green energy transition.
