Canadian Renewable Energy Project Map
About this Map
A research team at the University of Alberta has updated a database of renewable energy projects in Canada created by Patel and Dowdell in 2019 (click here to view the archived 2019 version). This new mapping tool (completed in August 2024) includes a comprehensive list of renewable energy projects in Canada that are equal to or greater than 1 MW. In addition to updated project information, the map includes a new battery energy storage layer, Indigenous renewable energy layer, and a solar energy potential layer.
Map layers can be toggled on and off using the layer list feature below the map (scroll to see all layers). Click on a project icon to reveal more information.
A report associated with the creation of the database and map can be found here.
The report details methods used to collect and validate data, as well as methods for developing the map on ArcGIS Online.
Data from the map can be downloaded in CSV format:
- Indigenous-owned Projects Layer
