2016 has been full of promising news for Canadian wind power developers. In July 2016, Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna announced that Canada will have a national price on carbon before the end of the year. The federal government’s announcement comes on the heels of those by the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and British Columbia regarding climate change action plans at the provincial level. This is coupled with the recent publication of a report commissioned by the Canadian Wind Energy Association, which concludes that Canada could get up to 35 per cent of its energy from wind power while maintaining grid reliability.
