CanREA will continue to work closely with the Province on advancing the energy transition in Nova Scotia.
Ottawa, November 28, 2024—The Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) congratulates Premier Tim Houston and the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia for their re-election to a second term.
CanREA plans to continue working closely with this government on the evolution of Nova Scotia’s Clean Energy Plan and the energy transition.
“With an election platform focusing on smart development for both the energy and natural resource sectors, this government has renewed its commitment to making Nova Scotia a world-class energy producer, which will lead to more opportunities for the wind, solar and energy storage sector in this province,” said Jean Habel, CanREA’s Senior Director for Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
CanREA worked closely with the Houston government during its first mandate, during which Nova Scotia made important progress in the energy transition, such as by enhancing behind-the-meter solar and launching two energy procurements, as well as several other energy projects, including energy storage.
“CanREA is committed to helping Nova Scotia achieve its energy transition goals. Atlantic Canada has a strong renewable energy and energy storage industry that stands ready to deploy solutions that will benefit all Nova Scotians,” said Vittoria Bellissimo, CanREA’s President and CEO.
