Reviewing Phase 2: Offshore Wind Integration & Transmission Study
December 17, 2025
January 15, 2026 1:00pm – 2:00pm AST
Presented by Stantec Consulting Ltd. & Net Zero Atlantic
This webinar presents findings and key insights from the Net Zero Atlantic Offshore Wind Integration & Transmission Study – Phase 2. The study evaluated the technical, locational, and economic potential for offshore wind development in Atlantic Canada, including optimal wind resource areas, energy yield estimates, and cost implications. It also projects offshore wind development trajectories toward 2035 and 2050, aligning resource potential with emerging market drivers.
The webinar will provide a high-level summary of the study’s methodology, geospatial analysis, wind energy modeling, cost estimates, long-term planning, and actionable next steps for enabling offshore wind development in the region.

Learning Objectives
- Understand the technical and geographical basis for offshore wind siting in Atlantic Canada
- Recognize constraints affecting feasibility, including bathymetry, exclusion zones, shipping lanes, and permitting sensitivities
- Review capacity mapping assumptions, such as turbine selection, spacing, and yield estimation
- Identify early-stage development indicators to guide provincial and project-level planning
- Interpret how offshore wind resource potential can scale into economic deployment scenarios for 2035 and 2050
Why Attend
Canada faces pivotal decisions in renewable energy expansion, with offshore wind emerging as a scalable pathway for emissions reduction and economic growth. This webinar distills complex technical studies into actionable insights for strategic planning. Participants will gain a clear understanding of offshore wind as an energy system asset—including installed MW potential, cost competitiveness, and expected deployment increments—and will directly benefit from exposure to analytical frameworks to support informed decision-making in energy transition initiatives.
