Renewables Spending in Context

• All new generating capacity added to Canada’s grid last year was renewable, except for one natural gas plant. This means 88% of new spending went to renewable power generation and 83% of new capacity from renewable sources.

• Spending on new renewable generation in Canada in 2015 is equivalent to all new capital investment in mining and quarrying ($9.6 billion) or half of new capital invested in manufacturing ($19.1 billion).

Clean energy spending across Canada dropped15 per cent in 2015.
