At the beginning of this year, the Canadian government joined the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA). In addition, the governments of two Canadian provinces, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, also became GOWA members as subnational governments.

In March 2025, the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Natural Resources proposed five areas for the development of offshore wind farms. Those are the French Bank, the Middle Bank, the Sable Island Bank, the Sydney Bight, and the Western/Emerald Bank.
