Industry Canada's Role

Industry Canada supports the development of wind energy by, conducting research to assess the economic opportunities for Canada; analyzing the domestic manufacturing capacity to support the industry; and encouraging investment opportunities. In addition, Industry Canada works in collaboration with federal and provincial government departments, industry organizations, and other wind energy stakeholders on initiatives to identify opportunities and a strategic path for increased Canadian participation in global wind supply and value chains, developing technology solutions for the growing wind energy sector, and investigating new opportunities for Canadian firms in small wind and off-grid communities.
