Continuing 2018's growth, Canada finished 2019 with 13,413 MW of wind energy capacity - enough to power approximately 3.4 million homes. The year saw completion of five projects that added 597 MW of new installed capacity, representing over $1 billion of investment. Canada is home to the world's ninth largest wind generating fleet.
This is a list of the ten largest operational wind farms in Canada.The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm. The Centennial Wind Power Facility in Saskatchewan was the first wind farm in Canada to have a capacity of at least 100 MW upon completion in 2006. [1]
Since 2010, more than half of all new wind power was added outside the traditional markets of Europe and North America, mainly driven by the continuing boom in China and India. China alone had over 40% of the world's capacity in 2023. [3] Wind power is used on a commercial basis in more than half of all the countries of the world. [4]

The Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm, located in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is the first coastal wind farm in the United States and the first such wind farm in New Jersey. It became operational in March 2006 [1] and has five 1.5 MW turbines built by General Electric. Each wind turbine reaches a height of 380 feet (120 m). [2] [3]
Between 2005 and 2019 hydroelectricity continued to dominate the growth of renewables in Canada with 40,000 GWh of new production compared to wind and solar combined with 30,000 GWh of new production. [16] Canada has 81 gigawatts (GW) of installed hydroelectric capacity, that produced 400 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2019. [17]
