Atlantic Canada Offshore Wind Grid Integration and Transmission Study

Net Zero Atlantic (NZA) is sharing findings from Phase 1 of a two-year study, the Atlantic Canada Offshore Wind (OSW) Grid Integration and Transmission Study.

This report details:

• In-depth information related to domestic and export opportunities for OSW in Atlantic Canada;
• What shape these opportunities could take in the future (over the next 25 years); and
• Early answers to how OSW can play a role in the energy mix/future plans for the provinces/Atlantic Canada.

This Phase 1 – Market Opportunities for Offshore Wind in Atlantic Canada report is focused on domestic and international market opportunities and is the first published deliverable. Along with a supporting policy assessment report, it will serve to inform our work in Phase 2 by providing current context and future possibilities in the region.

Phase 2 – Offshore Wind Resource Potential Study and Phase 3 – Grid Integration Study reports are next, and the results in this report will be further iterated upon throughout the remainder of the project.
