New Brunswick solar maps are available for each month and illustrates the solar insolation intensity across the province. These map provide an initial indication as to the viability of solar energy projects in your area.
The New Brunswick small hydro resource map illustrates where current conventional hydroelectric reservoir projects are located and areas that have not been developed. Prospective developers are provided an initial indication as to where development opportunities may lie.
The New Brunswick wind atlas provides wind resource mapping at 80m above ground level. This instrument allows interested wind project developers to identify opportunities in their communities at this hub height.
The Prince Edward Island wind atlas provides wind resource mapping at 80, 50 and 30m above ground level. This instrument allows interested wind project developers to identify opportunities in their communities for different sized turbines.
This report contains a map with estimates of the biomass of living, merchantable sized trees in Nova Scotia by ecoregion. Prospective biomass harvesters for energy purposes may find these estimates useful in planning.
Nova Scotia's solar maps illustrate the solar insolation intensity across the province during different periods of the year. These maps provide an initial indication as to the viability of solar energy projects in your area.
The Nova Scotia wind atlas provides wind resource mapping at 80, 50 and 30m above ground level onshore and offshore. This instrument allows interested wind project developers to identify opportunities in their communities for different sized turbines.
Community-owned renewable energy facilities create local jobs and revenue with less environmental impacts than conventional energy options. A community that owns a renewable energy facility keeps most of the profit, controls the facility's operation and contributes to a healthier environment. This fact sheet on community-owned renewable energy projects describes the benefits of these projects and outlines steps for starting a project.
The Canadian Wind Energy Atlas is a tool that allows individuals to identify preliminary wind energy prospects of particular sites across the country by viewing approximate seasonal wind speeds at various heights. This instrument allows interested wind project developers to identify opportunities in their communities for different sized turbines.
