According to a report from the Canada Energy regulator, Canada’s Prairie Provinces will lead the country’s growth in renewable energy capacity over the next three years.

The online report, says decreased reliance on coal and substantial increases in wind and solar capacity will increase the amount of renewable energy added to the grid in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The pace of overall renewable energy growth is expected to slow at the national level between this year and 2023, but there will be strong growth in provinces with a large reliance on fossil fuel generation.

Wind capacity in Saskatchewan is projected to triple, and nearly double in Alberta between 2020 and 2023. Saskatchewan’s renewable share of capacity is expected to increase from 25% in 2018 to 33% in 2023.

The report says Canada will see gradual declines in overall carbon emissions from electricity generation largely due to Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick replacing coal with renewables and natural gas. The pace of growth beyond 2023 in renewable power will depend on technological developments; consumer preferences; and government policies and programs.
