‘The business case for renewables only gets stronger’
Our green energy investments: Good for the bottom line, good for the environment
Renewable energy
ENGLISH | FRANÇAIS
Since our initial investment in a wind farm in 2002, we've committed more than $7.8 billion in capital to renewable energy and power transmission projects currently in operation or under construction.
Together, our renewable energy projects (either operating or under construction) have the capacity to generate 3,639 megawatts (MW) gross of zero-emission energy (1,748 MW net). Today, Enbridge is one of the largest renewable energy companies in Canada, and we have a diversified portfolio of renewable energy projects.
To date, we’ve invested in:
- 19 wind farms (3,428 MW gross capacity, either in operation or under construction);
- Four solar energy operations (152 MW gross capacity);
- Five waste heat recovery facilities (34 MW gross capacity);
- A geothermal project (23 MW capacity);
- A power transmission line (300 MW capacity); and
- A hydroelectric facility (2 MW capacity).

Collectively, those renewable energy projects in operation or under construction (and their 1,748 MW net generation capacity) are enough to meet the electricity needs of 696,577 homes, based on net generation figures.
100% owned and operated by Enbridge and its affiliates, except where less than full ownership/operatorship is indicated.
