Nova Scotia sets first Canadian offshore wind power goal in Atlantic green hydrogen drive

Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia has become the first province in Canada to set out ambitions to build industrial-scale wind power plant off its shores, with its premier today (Tuesday) outlining plans to bring 5GW online by decade’s-end to support development of green hydrogen production in the country’s maritime region.

Flagship leases for offshore wind arrays in the Canadian Atlantic will be awarded through a competitive auction to be shepherded by the provincial and federal governments, with expectations of a first call for bids in 2025.
