‘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, these projects (either operating or under construction) have the capacity to generate and transmit more than 3,900 megawatts (MW) gross of zero-emission energy (nearly 3,000 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:
- 18 wind farms (more than 3,400 MW gross capacity, either in operation or under construction);
- Four solar energy operations (150 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, our renewable energy and power transmission projects represent more than 3,900 MW (gross) of green power capacity. That's enough to meet the electricity needs of 1,823,943 homes—based on gross generation figures—through projects either in operation or under construction.
100% owned and operated by Enbridge and its affiliates, except where less than full ownership/operatorship is indicated.
