In 2022, wind turbines across Canada generated enough electricity to light and power every home in Manitoba for almost one and a half years. Canadian solar farms generated enough power to light every home in
Challenges to solar power development. According to the Canada Energy Regulator, the primary barrier to widespread solar power generation in Canada is cost. In 2016, this amounted to 23 cents per kWh, far
Canada installed almost 1 GW of wind and solar energy in 2021, driven by strong growth in Alberta. - Canadian Renewable Energy Association Canada installed almost 1 GW of wind and solar energy in 2021, driven by strong growth in Alberta.
There are around 48,000 solar energy installations across Canada. National solar energy* capacity grew by 11.8% across Canada in 2023. National wind energy capacity grew by 11.3% across Canada in 2022. 7.24% of Canada’s 2021 electricity demand was met by wind and solar energy in 2022.
Despite this, the Canadian Energy Regulator previously anticipated that solar would form 3 percent of the country’s overall energy generation by 2040. In fact, according to statistics released this year by the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA), Canada’s solar sector surpassed that figure in December 2020.
Canada now has an installed capacity of 21.9 GW of wind energy, solar energy and energy storage installed capacity. The industry added 2.3 GW of new installed capacity in 2023, including more than 1.7 GW of new utility-scale wind, nearly 360 MW of new utility-scale solar, 86 MW of new on-site* solar, and 140 MW / 190 MWh of energy storage.
Overall, Canada met 6.5% of its energy demand with wind and solar. Jurisdictions with less than 5% of energy demand met by wind and solar: Yukon Territory, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut and Newfoundland and Labrador. (source: Statistics Canada 2020)
In total, Canada’s new wind and solar energy capacity created approximately 2,400 person-years of employment, primarily in the construction of new facilities, but also in the ongoing operations and maintenance of these sites.
