Pembina backs offshore wind and Nova Scotia data center

The Pembina Institute, through David Pickup, issued a statement responding to new offshore wind investment by the federal government and EverWind Fuels’ new data center project powered in part by onshore wind.

• The statement says recent announcements in Nova Scotia, including a federal offshore wind investment and the EverWind data center campus, reflect rising electricity demand and the need for renewables, storage, and transmission.
• Background details cite the Atlantic Energy Strategy and key initiatives including Wind West (up to 5 gigawatts of offshore wind), Churchill Falls expansion, grid modernization in New Brunswick, and an MOU among Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and the federal government on electricity system co-operation.
