Technical FAQs 4

What is Canada's solar energy capacity?

Canada’s total wind, solar and storage installed capacity is now more than 24 GW, including over 18 GW of wind, more than 4 GW of utility-scale solar, 1+ GW on-site solar, and 330 MW of energy storage. Canada’s solar energy capacity (utility-scale and onsite) grew 92% in the past 5 years (2019-2024).

How much solar energy will Canada have in the next 5 years?

Solar energy capacity increased by 92% in that 5 year period. Canada is estimated to install at least 10 GW of new wind, solar, and storage capacity by 2030.

How many wind and solar energy resources are there in Canada?

Canada has only begun to scratch the surface of its vast and untapped wind and solar energy resources. At the end of 2024, we had 24 GW of wind energy, solar energy and energy storage installed capacity across Canada. For more information on the current state of the industry, growth and forecasts, see CanREA’s most recent annual data release:

How much solar power does Canada have in 2021?

According to the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA), the solar energy sector grew by 13.6% (288 MW) in 2021. Canada now has a solar capacity of 2,399 MW, compared to 2,111 MW in 2020. Canada's most valuable source for solar generation is Ontario, sharing almost 96% of its solar power.
