Atlantic Canada’s $100 Billion Renewable Energy Opportunity

As part of a continuing series of podcasts focused on energy opportunities in Atlantic Canada, our guest on this episode of the Insights Podcast is Matt Campbell, the author of the recent Deloitte Energy White Paper that asks an important question: Is this Atlantic Canada’s energy superpower moment? Matt is the Energy Transformational Leader for Deloitte in Atlantic Canada. In our conversation, Matt outlines the major renewable energy opportunities, including offshore wind and hydrogen gas. He talks about the growing need for a more coordinated regional approach to energy development and for strengthening policy alignment, technology development, and supply chain readiness. He emphasizes the opportunity presented by wind-hydro complementarity, which has already prompted Quebec Power to express interest in Nova Scotia’s offshore wind development. With demand for electricity in Canada expected to double by 2050, Atlantic Canada can become a net exporter of electricity to other parts of the country. We discussed the importance of strengthening national energy security and grid resilience. For anyone following the energy sector, this podcast is a must-listen.
