Nova Scotia’s premier is being urged to hold an emergency debate on the proposal amid concerns about power rates and water. At the same time, clean energy advocates say that if data centres are coming, pairing this one with $2 billion in wind power is the right way to do...

The federal government is committing $100-million toward development of a Nova Scotia offshore wind energy project with the potential to power homes and businesses in Quebec, Ontario and New England.

Climate Action Network Canada's 'Yes Agenda' map catalogues 110 clean energy and transmission projects worth billions of dollars in investment.

Global renewable energy investments plateaued in the first half of 2026 amid uncertainty and policy changes, with a bright spot: co-located solar and storage.

Critics are already calling out climate policy weaknesses underlying the upcoming COP31 annual climate summit, as a flagship initiative leaves out a clean energy commitment and the summit’s hosts continue fossil fuel development.

The federal government is taking criticism for assigning environmental reviews for pipelines, in situ oil sands projects, fossil-powered power plants, transmission lines, and offshore renewable energy projects to an agency that may lack the expertise to assess their impact—as well as some “inside baseball” teasing for a typo in the...

With Nova Scotia getting closer to inviting bids for Canada’s first offshore wind farms, a new poll says nearly three-quarters of Nova Scotians “hold a positive impression of offshore wind energy” and up to a two-thirds majority back the Wind West project—with some concerns still to be addressed.

Australian farmers are turning to renewables to “take back control” of their bottom lines—avoiding volatile fuel and fertilizer prices, growing their local economies, and adding new streams of revenue on their properties.

Two Innu band councils in Quebec have rejected last week’s non-binding agreement between Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the federal government to hugely expand hydroelectric generation along the Churchill River and build regional transmission capacity, saying they were never consulted.

The Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and federal government have reached a tentative agreement for up to 14,000 megawatts of hydropower development and 2,000 MW of wind, in what Prime Minister Mark Carney described as the largest clean energy investment in North America.

Climate change has been intensifying extreme weather patterns, and recent research shows that existing wind farms may not be prepared for what is to come, the author of a 2023 study tells The Energy Mix. A 2025 study suggests that calculations used to prepare wind farms for local conditions going...

The region has added dozens of turbines off the East Coast since last summer. They and other clean energy sources cut the need for oil power in a summer heat wave.

Renewable energy helped to avoid an estimated US$480 billion globally in fossil fuel costs in 2025, finds a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), while avoiding 8.4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

As the Greenhouse Gas Protocol reviews feedback on proposed amendments to its flagship Scope 2 emissions guidance, the Business Renewables Centre-Canada is warning that abrupt implementation in Canada, where corporate procurement of renewable energy already struggles against infrastructure and regulatory gaps, could stall the very momentum the amendments are meant...

Nova Scotia has conditionally approved its largest wind energy project to date, an onshore wind farm that will help power a green hydrogen and ammonia facility planned for Cape Breton.
