In a net-zero by 2050 Canada, 700,000 more energy jobs will exist than today, according to a 2023 report by Clean Energy Canada. In the wind sector alone, the Global Wind Energy Council estimates that over half a million new wind technicians will be required worldwide by 2026.

Revised “agriculture first” regulations end seven-month clean energy project halt but will only be tested with first Alberta Utility Commission hearings, says advocacy body

François-Philippe Champagne dismissed detractors of government's embattled $100 billion strategy to build an EV ecosystem, arguing sector will create competitive advantage for the country "for decades to come — but not overnight," in exclusive interview with Canada's National Observer.

Planned $7 million lithium-ion battery gigafactory in southern Quebec secured as “essential” to Swedish battery-maker’s global manufacturing strategy despite filing for bankruptcy in the U.S last week

Ontario will switch on the country's biggest energy storage facility next summer, taking a key step in transforming an aging electricity network aiming to be net-zero by 2035 — and one that could spark the grid revolution the province needs.

Canada’s fledgling sector could get a gust of investment if Donald Trump imposes the U.S. offshore wind moratorium he promised during the election, some industry players say.

So far this year the Canada Pension Plan has pumped over $3 billion into fossil fuels, despite pledging to reach net-zero emissions. The risks to the economy and planet are growing, and advocates say the pension fund must transition out of coal, oil and gas before it's too late.

Say energy storage and most imagine EV lithium-ion batteries. But a range of "long duration" concepts that store power for weeks rather than hours are coming to market, among them one called high-density hydro that uses a mud-brown slurry pumped through a long loop of plastic pipe on a hillside to store energy until it's needed. With first systems now being built, the technology could change the way renewables-powered grids work in the future.
