Nova Scotia's Premier, Tim Houston, recently outlined a vision of exporting up to 40 GW of offshore wind capacity from the Atlantic Canada province's shores to the rest of Canada, an ambitious concept termed "Wind West".
While Wind West focuses on Canadian markets, northeast US needs renewable power imports as well, as many American offshore wind projects are delayed indefinitely by the Trump administration's actions.
With a first seabed allocation round anticipated to commence within 2025, what will it take for Nova Scotia’s offshore wind to make it to American or Quebec markets, and would it be competitive?
