About the Sector

Canada’s electricity demand is expected to double or triple by 2050, requiring a major expansion of clean, reliable energy. With world-class offshore wind, tidal, wave, and river current resources, marine renewables can help meet growing demand, strengthen energy security, support coastal and Indigenous communities, and drive economic growth.

The Marine Renewable Energy Sector Vision 2050 outlines a practical roadmap to unlock this opportunity and position Canada as a global leader in marine renewable energy.

Marine renewable energy is gaining momentum in Canada – and you can help raise awareness.
