Canada‘s Role in Renewable Energy
![Page 15: Advancing Sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a719c21a28ab02678b6141/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Canada is the second largest country (by square km) after Russia
• Abundant in natural resources including lumber, water, coal, and oil
• Canada accounts for 3.6% of worldwide energy production
![Page 16: Advancing Sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a719c21a28ab02678b6141/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Power Generation by Source
• Canada`s annual generation is about 561 TWh• Mostly consisting of hydroelectric power• Followed by coal, nuclear, natural gas• Remainder are oil and other sources
59%15%
10%7%2%

Movement Towards Green Energy
• Coal still plays a significant role in energy production• Some provinces use up to 47% in coal powered energy
production• In 2003, Ontario Government set a goal to close all coal
burning plants• Last plant was closed in April 2014• Ontario became 1st coal-free jurisdiction in North
America• Replaced with other eco-friendly technologies for power
generation
![Page 18: Advancing Sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a719c21a28ab02678b6141/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Solar (Photovoltaic)• Due to closing of coal plant, gave way to building solar power
plant• Majority of the plants are in Ontario, Quebec, and prairie
regions. • Due to a high altitude there are less potential opportunities
in the Northern Territories• Previously only considered for space heating, water heating,
and drying crops• Now accounts for a growing significance in energy generation• Canada is ranked 15th in solar energy production (2013)
![Page 19: Advancing Sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a719c21a28ab02678b6141/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Sarnia Photovoltaic Power Plant is one of the largest solar plant (2010)
• Capacity to power 12000 homes

Wind Power
• Accounts for 1.6% of Canada´s power• Expanding rapidly due to interest by energy
companies• Government offering subsidies and initiatives
(personal, commerical)• In 1997 there were 60 turbines in 8 wind
farms…
![Page 21: Advancing Sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a719c21a28ab02678b6141/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• In 2011 there were 3094 turbines and 152 wind farms
• That´s an increase of roughly 3% every year!

Hydro
• Canada has many rivers from mountaineous areas flowing to it´s 3 bordering oceans
• Accounts for 59% of all electricity production• Manitoba, BC, Newfoundland, Ontario, and
Quebec produce up to 90% hydroelecticity• Plans of additional 158 stations in potential
regions projected for 2030
