Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA)

Canada is on a transformative journey to reach net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050. Wind and solar energy, supported by energy storage, will power much of this journey. That’s because wind and solar are the lowest-cost sources of new decarbonized electricity. We will need to increase our wind and solar capacity 10x by 2050, so we need to act now, and we need to act together.

L’énergie éolienne et solaire, soutenue par le stockage de l’énergie, alimentera une grande partie de ce parcours. En effet, l’éolien et le solaire sont les sources les moins coûteuses de nouvelle électricité décarbonée. Nous devrons multiplier par 10 notre capacité éolienne et solaire d’ici 2050: nous devons donc agir maintenant et agir ensemble. Pour en savoir plus, cliquez ici : http://ow.ly/rTEU50Jpz0M

Ever wonder what it would be like to work as a wind turbine technician, 500 feet in the air? Or to work as a solar farm electrician, harnessing the power of the sun, and using it to charge a massive on-site battery system? CanREA’s Clean Energy Career Profiles asks Canada’s renewable energy and energy storage workers what they do, how they got into this line of work, and what advice they have for others looking to work in the #renewableenergy and #energystorage sector. In 2024, CanREA spoke with CanREA’s Director of Operations, Mathieu Côté, to find out more about his occupational journey. Read his full career profile here: https://ow.ly/6kAE50S6RO8 *** Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé ce que c’était que de travailler comme technicien d’éoliennes, à 500 pieds dans les airs? Ou de travailler comme électricien de centrale #solaire, en exploitant la puissance du soleil et en l’utilisant pour charger un énorme système de batterie sur place? Les profils de carrière sur l’énergie propre de CanREA demandent aux travailleurs canadiens des secteurs de l’#énergierenouvelable et du #stockage de l’énergie ce qu’ils font, comment ils se sont lancés dans ce domaine et quels conseils ils ont à donner à d’autres personnes qui cherchent à travailler dans le secteur de l’énergie renouvelable et du stockage de l’énergie.

Last night, 140 business leaders and influencers in #WindEnergy, #SolarEnergy and #EnergyStorage gathered at the Radisson Blu Hotel for the final CanREA Connects—Ontario fall networking reception in #Toronto.     The reception provided a valuable opportunity to engage with key players in Ontario’s growing renewable energy sector. Attendees connected, shared insights and discussed the latest trends and opportunities shaping the future of #RenewableEnergy in the province.     A big thank you to our sponsors—Enbridge, EDF, LCAB, and CIBC—for supporting this event.

The Oneida energy storage plant is a testament to what can be built when Indigenous Businesses are enabled through increased access to capital - via the Canada Infrastructure Bank, loan guarantees, or tax credits. When Canada introduces and passes the #CleanElectricity #InvestmentTaxCredit more Indigenous companies and communities will have access to the capital they need to lead in #RenewableEnergy and #EnergyStorage projects like this one. Huge kudos to Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) members Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation and Northland Power Inc. for this great profile piece about their powerful project.

Why are so many Canadians going solar? In Canada, solar (PV) systems installed on residential, commercial and industrial rooftops are currently providing 1.2 GW of solar power directly to those homes and businesses. Canadians added 86 MW of new on-site solar in 2023 alone, according to CanREA’s annual data report. In addition to the environmental benefits, generating your own energy from the sun through solar photovoltaics (PV) increases your energy independence, saves you money on your electricity bills and, when paired with energy storage, can help ensure you are prepared in the event of a power outage or natural disaster. Learn how to plan your solar installation with CanREA’s Go Solar Guide 2024, available for free here: https://ow.ly/lJ4e50SIAqr. #homeimprovement #solarhome #solarpotential #rebatesolar #solarrooftop #rooftopsolar *** Pourquoi le solaire a-t-il le vent dans les voiles au Canada? Les systèmes d’énergie solaire photovoltaïque (EPV) installés sur des toits résidentiels, commerciaux et industriels fournissent actuellement 1,2 GW d’énergie solaire directement à des ménages et à des entreprises au pays. Selon le rapport annuel de données de CanREA, en 2023 seulement, les Canadiens ont injecté 86 MW de nouvelle énergie solaire sur place. En plus d’avoir des retombées environnementales intéressantes, la production d’électricité provenant du soleil par EPV augmente l’autonomie énergétique, allège les factures d’électricité, et, en combinaison avec le stockage d’énergie, assure vos arrières en cas de panne de courant ou de catastrophe naturelle.
