Canada Wind Energy Association’s target, if met, will result in $79-billion in new investment and 52,000 new jobs. $165-million revenue will also be created for rural municipalities hit by declining traditional resource industries.
We believe that wind energy represents a tremendous opportunity for Ontario, Canadian Wind Energy Association President Robert Hornung, said. This announcement is timely in that it will help Ontario meet its future electricity needs while also supporting significant investment and job creation at a time when the province is seeking economic stimulus.
We look forward to further announcements of new procurement processes from the Government of Ontario that will continue the province’s momentum in growing wind and other renewables Hornung, said.
