At the end of 2014, Canada had 70 bioenergy power plants with a total installed capacity of 2,043 megawatts, and most of this capacity was built around the use of wood biomass and spent pulping liquor, as well as landfill gas. Renewable energy from its many sources is an incredible way to power, heat and fuel our country. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities acts as a voice for municipal/local governments nationwide. As well, energy developers in remote communities must include community- and Indigenous-led electricity developers. Canada is the second largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world. Renewable energy sources currently provide about 18.9 per cent of … The primary source of renewable energy in Canada comes from moving water. Ontario about gigawatts Ontario has the most installed wind capacity with 5,436 megawatts or 41% of Canada’s total, followed by Quebec at 3,882 megawatts or 29%, Alberta at 13%, British Columbia at 5% and Nova Scotia at 5%. Number of Founders 165. The pulp and paper industry is by far the largest industrial user of bioenergy, which accounts for more than half of the energy used in this industry. The largest wind farm is Lac Alfred with 300 megawatts. Its investment objective is to deliver long-term annualized total returns of 12%-15% .
