Nova Scotia's commercial solar energy capacity expanded by 82% in 2025, according to new data from the province's private power utility. Legislative reforms enabling companies to sell tenfold energy to Nova Scotia Power contributed to this increase.
As of 2025, renewables accounted for 42% of the utility's total power generation, with solar representing roughly 1%. Despite the surge in solar capacity, the primary sources of renewable energy are projected to be onshore wind farms and hydro power sourced from Labrador. The trajectory indicates a significant shift towards renewable energy, though reliance on diverse sources remains essential.
