Simply Blue Energy is exploring the potential for offshore wind development off the coast of Nova Scotia, to support Canada’s clean energy transition.
Offshore Wind
Nova Scotia
With Canada targeting net-zero emissions by 2050 and Nova Scotia aiming to offer leases for 5 GW of offshore wind by 2030, this initiative will assess how offshore wind can contribute to long-term energy security and economic growth.
By harnessing the vast wind resources of the North Atlantic, this exploration will evaluate the feasibility of offshore wind in delivering large-scale, zero-carbon electricity to the region. It will also examine how offshore wind can integrate into Nova Scotia’s energy mix, reducing reliance on fossil fuels while supporting industrial decarbonization.
Simply Blue Energy has a dedicated team based in its Halifax, Nova Scotia office, working to explore the opportunities of offshore wind development in the region. This project aims to provide critical insights to help establish a local offshore wind supply chain, create long-term employment opportunities and position Nova Scotia as a leader in offshore renewable energy.
Simply Blue Energy is actively developing a significant offshore wind energy portfolio, including 8 GW of floating offshore wind and 4 GW of fixed-bottom wind projects across Ireland, UK, Spain, Portugal, Canada and Greece.
