Federal and provincial governments move to unlock economic potential of offshore wind

The federal and provincial governments have partnered to announce the coming into force of legislation to enable the development of offshore renewable energy in Newfoundland and Labrador.

This follows the passage of the federal Bill C-49 in October 2024 and Newfoundland and Labrador’s mirror legislation, Bill 90, in March 2025.

This is part of the federal government’s plan to make Canada an energy superpower and build the strongest economy in the G7.
