WindVision 2025: Powering Canada's Future
Announcing a bold new vision for wind energy in Canada ...
CanWEA believes wind energy can satisfy 20 percent of Canada’s electricity demand by 2025. Achieving this vision will pay huge dividends:
- Generating $79 billion of investment that will make Canada’s wind energy sector a real player in a $1.8 trillion global wind industry
- Creating at least 52,000 high quality, full-time jobs including many in rural communities
- Producing $165 million in new annual revenues for municipalities
- Adding 55,000 MW of clean generating capacity that will strengthen our electrical grids and head off potential power shortages
- Stabilizing electricity prices
- Cutting Canada’s annual greenhouse gas emissions by 17 Megatonnes
To make WindVision 2025 a reality, CanWEA is calling on the federal and provincial governments to establish policies and programs addressing these five priorities:
- Providing fair value for the environmental attributes of wind energy
- Enhancing wind energy procurement processes
- Providing incentives to manufacturers of wind power equipment
- Planning and building ‘wind-friendly’ transmission infrastructure
- Streamlining permitting and approval processes for wind energy projects
Find out how this infinite source of clean energy will power Canada's future, create new jobs, and reduce our impact on the environment.
