Newfoundland and Labrador has an abundance of renewable energy resources which positions the province well to meet its net-zero commitments, fight climate change, and to grow clean energy jobs and economic development. The Renewable Energy Plan provides a sustainable long-term vision for Newfoundland and Labrador to maximize its renewable energy future.
The five-year plan has four specific focus areas, all with short-term (within one year), medium-term (within two years) and long-term (two to five years) actions for each, which will support planning and delivery on a range of activities:
- Energy Uses and Markets
- Regulatory Framework
- Partnerships, Innovation and Industry Support
- Training and Jobs
Together, with the ongoing support and participation of industry and stakeholders, this plan will support Newfoundland and Labrador’s transition to a low-carbon economy, create employment opportunities for residents, and further position Newfoundland and Labrador as a Clean Energy Centre of Excellence.
To ensure transparency and accountability of the plan, the Provincial Government will report on progress in one year.
