In 2008, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), a non-profit trade association, outlined a future strategy for wind energy that would reach a capacity of 55,000 MW by 2025, fulfilling 20% of the country's energy needs. The plan, Wind Vision 2025, could create over 50,000 jobs and represent around CDN$165 million annual revenue. If ...
Renewable energy in Canada represented 17.3% of the Total Energy Supply (TES) in 2020, following natural gas at 39.1% and oil at 32.7% of the TES.

The 363.5 MW Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms in Quebec has been the largest wind farm by installed capacity in Canada since it was last expanded in October 2015 from 340 MW to 363.5 MW. The previous record-holder was the 350 MW Rivière-du-Moulin Wind Project in Quebec from its opening in December 2014 to September 2015.
In Denmark, wind energy met more than 40% of its electricity demand while Ireland, Portugal and Spain each met nearly 20%. [82] Globally, the long-term technical potential of wind energy is believed to be five times total current global energy production, or 40 times current electricity demand, assuming all practical barriers needed were overcome.
The song took center stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics when a DJ played it to ease tensions between Brazil and Canada's respective teams at the women's beach volleyball final on Aug. 9.
