Renewable Energy

We need more energy and cleaner ways to generate it!

Wind power generates no emissions: A modern turbine produces

~5000MWh/year reducing CO2 emissions by over 3000 tons.

A hydro power plant produces 100 times less greenhouse gases than a coal

plant

Renewable energy costs are decreasing as technology improves, we are

attaining cost-competitive levels

Wind Industry

3,500 BC first sailboats (wind is used to carry ships across oceans)

2,000 BC first windmills (wind used to pump water)

medieval period (windmills were used to grind grain)

1800s first windmills which creates electricity

Beginning of 1900s wind turbines created electricity all over Europe and US

Middle of 1900s expansion of commercial turbines

early1980s beginning of modern turbines era

1990's growing interest in renewable energy due to public concerns about

global warming

2003 politics in Germany, Denmark, and Spain encourage wind industry

developments, consequently Europe has 70% of the world’s wind energy

2009 Wind Power provides 2% of worldwide electricity usageSource: http://learn.kidwind.org/learn/wind_basics_history


Wind Industry

Canada’s wind industry :

5,265 MW installed – 2.3% of Canada’s electricity demand

1,267 MW installed in 2011 – representing $3.1 billion of investment

More than 6,000 MW of wind energy projects are contracted over the next 5 years

Industry target – achieve 20% of Canada’s demand by 2025
