WIND ENERGY
Corporate renewable energy investment in Alberta plummeted by 99% in 2025, the first year without new wind power additions since 2018, due to government policy changes including a moratorium on new projects and stricter regulations. This decline follows a period of significant growth, with around 1,000 megawatts added annually from 2021 to 2023, now expected to drop to about 200 megawatts. Additionally, Nova Scotia has overtaken Alberta in corporate power purchase agreements, indicating a shift in investment dynamics.
