SECTOR SNAPSHOT

Wind West

Nova Scotia has been working with Canada as our joint management partner to realize the full economic and environmental potential of the clean energy sector and become home to Canada’s first offshore wind farm.

With the necessary transmission infrastructure, Nova Scotia’s offshore wind can be a foundational piece to securing greater energy security and sovereignty for Canada. Forging ahead on this vision, the Province has proposed the Wind West nation-building project.

Wind West would be an east-west High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission interconnection that can reduce renewable energy supply costs, enhance reliability, enable the increased use of clean energy
