Capacity Building for the Sustainable and Inclusive Development of Nova Scotia's Offshore Wind Resource
March 2022 – November 2024
Working together with our partners, Net Zero Atlantic will build local capacity in rural, Mi'kmaw, and other equity-deserving Nova Scotia communities so they can beneficially participate in any related impact assessments in Nova Scotia's offshore

Creating a Workplan for Offshore Wind Pathways to Market Studies
March – September 2023
Offshore wind electricity has the potential to (1) satisfy domestic electricity demand, (2) be exported to neighbouring jurisdictions, and (3) be used for hydrogen production. It is important for policymakers, power system operators, electricity regulators and other stakeholders to understa

Value mapping Nova Scotia’s Offshore Wind Resources
March – April 2023
Offshore wind is an untapped resource in Nova Scotia, which, if developed, has the potential to enable energy exports, stimulate rural economies, and contribute towards meeting the province’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
