Canada Wind Energy Market Analysis

The Canada Wind Energy Market size is estimated at 18.17 gigawatt in 2024, and is expected to reach 27.75 gigawatt by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.83% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

In the long term, factors such as upcoming new wind projects, the declining costs of wind technologies becoming competitive with fossil fuel sources, and additional subsidies on wind energy systems are driving the market.
In the absence of any new initiatives, an underdeveloped power grid in Canada is expected to hinder the market's growth in the coming years.
Nevertheless, under the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, Canada is committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) by at least 80% below 2005 levels by 2050. Since, among Canadian renewable energy sources, wind energy contributes low-cost power and flexibility to a modernized electricity grid, this, in turn, is expected to provide a better opportunity for the market in the coming future.

Canada Wind Energy Industry Segmentation

Wind energy is a form of renewable energy that is generated by harnessing the power of the wind. Wind turbines, which are large structures with long blades that rotate around a central hub, convert the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy.

The Canadian wind energy market is segmented by location of deployment (onshore and offshore). For each segment, the market sizes and forecasts have been done based on installed capacity (GW).

Canada Wind Energy Market Size Summary

The wind energy sector in Canada is experiencing significant growth, driven by the country's vast wind resources and supportive government policies. As one of the fastest-growing methods of electricity generation, wind energy is becoming increasingly competitive with traditional fossil fuels, aided by declining technology costs and additional subsidies. The Canadian government is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with international climate agreements, which further bolsters the wind energy market's potential. Despite challenges such as an underdeveloped power grid, the market is poised for expansion with numerous onshore projects underway and more in the planning stages. The focus on clean energy sources is supported by policies encouraging private and foreign investments, which are expected to drive the market's growth over the forecast period.

Wind energy accounts for a significant portion of Canada's electricity generation, with provinces like Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta leading in capacity. The country has seen substantial investments in wind energy projects, with Alberta emerging as a key market due to its favorable investment climate. The development of new projects, such as the Lanfine Wind Project and the Rattlesnake Ridge Wind Farm, highlights the ongoing expansion in the sector. Major players in the market, including Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, General Electric, and Vestas Wind Systems, are actively involved in advancing wind energy projects. As Canada continues to explore opportunities for maximizing wind energy development, the market is expected to grow, driven by both economic and environmental benefits.
