The electrical trade has had a major uptick in the research, development, and sustainability of renewable energy. With the world pushing back on fossil fuels, it's more important than ever for renewable energy sources to be funded and backed by the Canadian government. There are a variety of ways this is being accomplished.
Wind - Wind farms have been adopted primarily by the prairie provinces. Many are seen throughout southern Alberta. British Columbia has taken advantage where applicable, most notably in Chetwynd BC. Wind produced power, however, is not limited to wind farms, there are many different wind turbine kits for residential use.
Solar - Solar electricity is an ever growing field, from the installation of solar farms throughout Canada like the 4,032 solar-cell modules installed in an abandoned mine in Kimberly BC (https://www.kimberley.ca/sunmine) to grants offered to Canadian homeowners installing personal solar cells by the Canadian government. Solar energy is becoming a staple in all new construction.
There are many different renewable energy options available to both consumers and providers, but cost is our biggest hurdle to overcome. If you are interested in exploring these other options please follow the links below:
