Canadian wind energy in 2014 had another record-breaking year, thanks to new wind farms in Canada’s largest province.

According to the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), Canada added 1,871 MW of new wind power in 2014. Ontario, was tops with 999 MW, followed by Quebec (460 MW), and Alberta (350 MW). Overall, Canadian capacity now stands at 9,698 MW. This is enough wind power to meet the electricity demand for 3 million Canadian homes on average yearly.

That is a healthy amount of wind!
