Newfoundland and Labrador is reducing its fossil fuel use and delivering affordable and reliable renewable energy to the people of the province and beyond. Our competitive advantages in renewable energy production provide opportunities to export energy via new pathways (including hydrogen, ammonia, and renewable diesel) to assist other jurisdictions in meeting their emissions reduction targets.

Due to Newfoundland and Labrador's abundance of hydro resouces, the province also has the potential to build new, or expand upon, numerous hydro developments. A sample of these options are outlined in the following table.

In addition to Newfoundland and Labrador’s wind, hydro and biomass resources, there is also opportunity related to solar, wave, tidal and geothermal.  For example, solar, or photovoltaic energy is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in Canada today. Currently, there are 23 small-scale solar energy projects under the province's net metering program. The provinces’ vast coastline of over 29,000 kilometres also presents opportunities related to tidal and wave energy. Further, geothermal energy, which can be harnessed to generate renewable energy, may also have potential in the province.
