Nova Scotia’s Bold Vision
Imagine if Nova Scotia could supply up to 27% of Canada’s electricity needs. It’s not a dream—it’s the potential of Wind West, our province’s next major step toward becoming a clean energy superpower.
Nova Scotia is already in the process of licensing 5 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy. For context, our province only uses 2.4GW at peak demand. But the opportunity doesn’t stop there—our offshore zones could generate up to 66GW, with reliable winds that blow steadily 60% of the time. That translates to a consistent and exportable 40GW of clean power.
Why It Matters
Clean, reliable wind power isn’t just good for the environment—it’s key to fueling:
- Battery plants
- AI data centers
- Future-focused industries
To get that energy to the rest of Canada, we need modern infrastructure—a national energy corridor. Wind West would deliver Nova Scotia’s offshore wind power across the country, creating jobs, lowering emissions, and helping achieve Canada’s clean energy goals.
A Nation-Building Project
Nova Scotia stands ready. We’re investing. Private capital is ready to invest. Now we’re calling on the federal government to match our ambition.
With rising global energy uncertainty and Nova Scotia ranked 60th in GDP per capita in North America, Wind West is more than just a project—it’s a chance to build a self-reliant and prosperous future.
Let’s not wait. Let’s make it happen.
