Winter months
- When the wind is calm, water is released to generate power at the dam site ensuring that customers get firm power on demand. In addition, our wind regime is most productive in the winter months when our peak demand for power occurs.

Apr 29, 2024 · Canada has large areas with excellent wind resources and therefore a significant potential for wind-generated power. In 2022, Canada was the world’s 9th largest producer of onshore wind. Some of the highest quality wind resources are offshore and along coastlines.
Jun 15, 2024 · As a global leader in renewable energy production, Canada’s wind power generating capacity is expected to grow significantly over the coming years. Canada’s wind energy market is expected to hit 18.17 GW in 2024 and grow up to 27.75 GW by 2029 [4] – a 53% increase!
offshore wind energy leases by 2030. Highlight(s) • Canada installed 1,006 MW of new wind power capacity in 2022, the highest annual increase since 2015. In 2022, Canada increased its installed wind energy capacity by just over one gigawatt to a total of 15.31 GW. Wind-generated electricity reached 39.06 TWh, a record for the country ...
Wind power has a history in Canada dating back many decades, particularly on prairie farms. As of December 2021, wind power generating capacity was approximately 14,304 megawatts (MW). Combined with 2,399 MW of solar power generating capacity, this provided about 6.5% of Canada's electricity demand as of 2020. [1]
Canada. In 2018, over two-thirds of Canada’s electricity was generated from renewable sources. Wind and solar capacity is projected to continue growing over the medium term, but at a slower pace compared to capacity additions made between 2010 and 2017.
Mar 24, 2021 · Between 2017 and 2023, capacity for renewables in Canada is projected to grow by 3 178 megawatts (MW) for wind, 2 392 MW for hydro, 1 784 MW for solar, and 52 MW for biomass and geothermal. This near-term outlook is from the CER’s Evolving Energy Systems Scenario from Canada’s Energy Future 2020.
