Canada has only begun to scratch the surface of its vast and untapped wind and solar energy resources. At the end of 2024, we had 24 GW of wind energy, solar energy and energy storage installed capacity across Canada. For more information on the current state of the industry, growth and forecasts, see CanREA’s most recent annual data release:
Canada’s total wind, solar and storage installed capacity grew 46% in the past 5 years (2019-2024), including nearly 5 GW of new wind, 2 GW of new utility-scale solar, 600 MW of new on-site solar, and 200 MW of new energy storage.
Canada has 341 wind energy projects producing power across the country. Canada ranks 24th in the world for installed solar energy capacity. Canada ranks 9th in the world for installed wind energy capacity. There are nearly 96,000 onsite solar energy installations across Canada.
