Canada Gets More Wind Power
For the year 2006, Canada had honed their capacity to use wind power and they had installed facilities that could generate 1,468 megawatts. The number is double that of the year 2005.
With that, experts in the industry are looking at Canada’s capacity to hone wind power and they are now estimating that the country can even add up its current capacity to 14,100 megawatts come the year 2015. This is as per the Emerging Energy Research’s study which was just done recently.
Joshua Magee is a senior analyst for EER and he shares, “In the past two years the Canadian wind power market has evolved from relative obscurity - an occasional diversion for wind turbine vendors struggling for market share in the U.S. - to become one of the world’s largest and fastest growing wind power markets.”
He even did further note, “If Canada remains committed to making significant reductions in its greenhouse gas emissions levels, necessary market changes in transmission and grid penetration policy should follow suit to increase wind’s share of the country’s energy mix.”
