Preliminary considerations analysis of offshore wind energy in Atlantic Canada / prepared by Ryan J. Kilpatrick, Christa Wakim, Gemma Caesar. : M154-158/2023E-PDF
"Canada has tremendous offshore wind resources that can contribute to its clean energy and climate objectives. In preparation for its future potential development in Canada, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has committed to advancing the collective understanding of spatial planning considerations for offshore wind energy. To this end, CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (CE-O), a federal laboratory within NRCan, undertook a preliminary analysis of relevant considerations for offshore wind, with an initial focus on Atlantic Canada. To conduct the analysis, CE-O used geographic information system (GIS) software and methods and engaged with multiple federal government departments to acquire relevant data and obtain insights from subject matter experts on the appropriate use of these data in the context of the analysis. The purpose of this work is to support the identification of candidate regions within Atlantic Canada that could become designated offshore wind energy areas in the future. These areas would define the boundaries within which developers could bid on the rights to develop offshore wind projects. These candidate regions may be included in government-led regional assessments and may also become the focus of further characterization of various geophysical, socio-economic, and environmental considerations. …"--Executive summary, page ii.
