Wind Power in Canada: What you Need to Know
Canada’s geography makes it ideal for capturing the power of the wind. With wind farms in 11 out of 13 provinces and territories, this renewable energy source is fueling homes and businesses across the country. Leading the way are Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Alberta, and Ontario, where wind-generated electricity accounts for a substantial portion of the energy mix.
Wind power in Canada has seen impressive growth over the past decade. Wind power generation more than tripled between 2011 and 2021, now reaching 34.4 terawatt-hours (TWh). In 2022, wind energy accounted for 6.1% of the nation's electricity production, with provinces like Prince Edward Island sourcing an incredible 96.8% of their electricity from wind alone.
Looking ahead, Canada’s wind energy future looks bright, with major projects underway. Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia have committed a combined $16 billion to wind energy over the next decade. These investments are helping reduce carbon emissions.
