Two energy companies are coming together to develop what they call "Canada's first offshore windfarm" off Nova Scotia's coast. The new joint venture aims to assist the province in achieving its target for wind power generation. But as Callum Smith explains, a local fishing association is already raising some concerns. – Aug 23, 2023The Nova Scotia government has introduced a bill that would kick-start the province’s offshore wind industry without federal approval.
Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton says amendments within a new omnibus bill introduced today will help ensure Nova Scotia meets its goal of launching a first call for offshore wind bids next year. Rushton says normally the province would wait for the federal government to adopt legislation establishing a wind industry off Canada’s East Coast, but that process has been “progressing slowly.”Federal legislation that would enable the development of offshore wind farms in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador has passed through the first and second reading in the Senate, and is currently under consideration in committee.
Rushton says the Nova Scotia bill mirrors the federal legislation and would prevent the province’s offshore wind industry from being held up in Ottawa.What’s holding back homebuilding? The lack of builders, new report argues
