Wind Power in Canada

Canada ranks as the 9th largest market in the world with a wind energy capacity of 4,009 MW at the end of 2010: an increase of 21% on the prior year.

Analyzing Wind Energy in Canada provides a detailed analysis of wind energy capacity and the generation of electricity from wind in Canada, using the latest available data. Coverage includes installed and added volumes; shares of total, renewable and non-hydro renewable energy sources; growth rates against other renewable energy sectors; and forecasts to 2020. All from a local, regional and global perspective with comparisons to other leading markets regionally and worldwide.

Part of Energici’s databook series, this report can be reviewed against others in the series to compare sector and country performance and put trends into global perspective.
