15 Canada 1.0 Overview
Canada is the ninth largest producer of wind energy in the world. It has more than 6 GW of wind energy capacity, which produces enough power to meet about 2.8 % of the country's total electricity demand. Canada has more than 170 wind farms, spread across ten provinces and two territories. In 20...
