Canada's clean energy investment slows but momentum could surge with new power deals
Canada's steady, growing investment in clean power over the past decade slowed in 2024 with a drop-off in renewable energy plant construction, according to the latest International Energy Agency (IEA) figures. But in the face of heightened geopolitical uncertainty — and with most of the country's provinces planning to award deals this year to build more power plants and infrastructure — the Canadian green transition could quickly pick up pace again, a leading think-tank says. Capital spending on power generation in Canada between 2021-25 averaged US$7.3 billion a year — $5.3 billion of which went into renewables projects, the IEA stated in its 10th World Energy Investment report. The remaining $2 billion was split between new fossil fuel and nuclear developments. Clean energy spending numbers in the country are up compared to 2016-2021, when renewables saw $3.3 billion in capital expenditure, while fossil and nuclear saw $1 billion and $1.2 billion invested, respectively. The Canadian data also reflects the accelerating global shift away from oil, gas and coal, which is expected to see $1.1 trillion invested in 2025, while renewables, nuclear, grids, storage, e-fuels, and electrification are on course to reach a record $2.2 trillion spend. 'Today's investment trends clearly show a new Age of Electricity is drawing nearer,' said Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA, as the report was released online lastThursday. "A decade ago, global investments in fossil fuels were 30 per cent higher than those in electricity generation, grids and storage. This year, electricity investments are set to be some 50 per cent higher than the total amount being spent bringing oil, natural gas and coal to market.' Birol noted spending on low-carbon power generation has almost doubled over the past five years, with solar power investment alone forecast to hit $450 billion in 2025, making it the 'single largest item in the global energy investment inventory.' Battery storage investments are also climbing rapidly, he said, with the IEA expecting spending to surge past $65 billion this year. A Canadian green 'gold rush' ahead? Evan Pivnick, Clean Energy Canada's clean energy program manager, said the drop in construction of solar and wind farms in Canada over the past year is disappointing. However, the 'bigger theme' in the IEA data is the growth of renewables share in the country's energy mix, which rose from 27.6 per cent in 2016-2020 to 36.6 per cent in 2021-2025, he added. Given that almost every province and territory is planning to hold a new power procurement round this year — where governments allocate future production capacity on the grid — conditions could exist for a renewables 'gold rush,' Pivnick said. 'The focus should be on interprovincial powe grids and interties - between Ontario and Quebec and Quebec and Atlantic Canada and between Alberta and BC,' says Clean Energy Canada's Evan Pivnick. 'Renewables are the cheapest form of new energy and prices continue to fall. We have historically been an oil-producing nation, but we have unbelievable renewable energy resources in wind and solar, all backed up by a world-class hydropower network,' he said. Canada has some singular challenges, including a vast geography with 13 different energy grids, Pivnick noted. 'But I think we are entering a new chapter in our energy transition.' Pivnik said the IEA data also reveals striking similarities between the energy transition in Canada and much of the rest of the world. One is underinvestment in transmission, which will hinder bringing new power online and getting it to industrial, commercial and residential consumers. Another is that energy security is becoming a major motivation in all national energy policy thinking. The IEA's Birol referred to it as the 'new main driver' of investment in power generation. 'Building renewable energy projects is the best way to make Canada's energy more secure and protect the country's electricity prices from fluctuations in global markets and political dynamics," said Pivnik. Canada's national renewables build-out has become sluggish in the last few years, primarily because Alberta — the country's erstwhile clean-energy powerhouse with over 10,000 MW of installed wind and solar — in 2022 imposed a moratorium on renewables projects. Nationwide solar and wind build down Nationwide, a mere 314 MW of solar power was switched on last year, down from 765 MW the year before, taking total plant capacity to 4,000 MW, according to figures from the C anadian Renewable Energy Association, an industry body. Wind power fared little better, with the installation of 1,434 MW of turbines in 2024, down from 1,774 MW the year before, expanding the fleet to a total 18,434 MW. The average yearly investment in Canada's electricity network fell slightly in 2021-2025 compared to the previous five years, the IEA found, to $4.1 billion from $4.2 billion. The same was seen globally as capital spending on grids, currently at around $400 billion a year, is not keeping pace with spending on generation and electrification, the agency said. Pivnick believes new transmission infrastructure should be top of the list for the new Liberal government's so-called 'nation-building' projects plan. 'The focus should be on interprovincial grids and interties - between Ontario and Quebec and Quebec and Atlantic Canada and between Alberta and BC,' Pivnick said. Power connections like these are the most cost-effective way to enhance Canada's ability to build more clean energy capacity in the provinces and distribute the country's energy resources to the regions that need them most, he added. Globally, China, far and away, led the energy investment tables with a forecast $874 billion to be spent this year, of which $627 billion will go into renewables projects — as much as the EU and US combined. The Asian superpower's share of worldwide renewables spending has risen from a quarter to almost a third over the past 10 years, based on a portfolio of technologies including solar, wind, hydropower, nuclear, batteries and EVs. Declining spending on new oil Capital spending on oil production is foreseen falling six per cent globally, while the nuclear sector's investment renaissance is expected to result in expenditure growing 50 per cent in 2025 to $75 billion. The rampant rise in worldwide electricity demand has also continued to fuel investment in coal, led by China, with the construction of nearly 100,000 MW of new lignite-fired power plants given the green-light. The IEA report noted that energy sector spending patterns were 'very uneven globally' with many developing economies struggling to get capital for energy infrastructure. Africa, though it is home to 20 per cent of the world's population accounts for just two per cent of global clean energy investment. Birol said: 'Investment flows are not yet on track to deliver on the renewable and efficiency goals agreed at COP28' in Dubai, UAE, which finished with a declaration stating the conference marked the 'beginning of the end' of the fossil fuel era. 'The annual investment required in renewable power still needs to double to achieve a tripling of installed renewable capacity by 2030, accompanied by rising spending on grids, storage and other forms of flexibility to ensure secure and cost-effective utilization of this capacity.'

DND says F-35 review will be completed in the summer
Article content The Department of National Defence's review of its F-35 purchase will be completed sometime in the summer, but officials won't say exactly when or whether the report will be released to the public. Article content Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered a review of Canada's $19-billion F-35 purchase in mid-March in the wake of threats against Canadian sovereignty by U.S. President Donald Trump. The U.S. has become increasingly hostile to Canada, with the American president continuing with his economic efforts to punish Canada and push for this country to become the 51st state. Article content Article content Article content At this point, Canada has only financially committed to purchasing the first 16 jets from the U.S. government. The entire order was for 88 F-35s, which are manufactured by the American defence giant Lockheed Martin. Article content Department of National Defence spokeswoman Andrée-Anne Poulin stated in an email that the F-35 review is being led by the offices of the assistant deputy minister for review services and the assistant deputy minister for materiel. They are receiving input from other organizations such as the Royal Canadian Air Force. The assistant deputy minister for material and the RCAF played key roles in the original selection of the F-35 for Canada. Article content 'It is anticipated that this review will be finalized in Summer 2025,' the email from Poulin pointed out. Article content DND could not say which month the review would be completed. Article content Asked by the Ottawa Citizen if it would be accurate to state the review would be finished by the end of August, the DND responded that, 'Further information will be provided in due course.' Article content Article content Poulin had previously noted that, 'The review would take into account the work already done to replace Canada's current fighter jet fleet.' Article content Article content Former defence procurement chief Alan Williams and various defence analysts have warned that the F-35 represents a strategic vulnerability for Canada since the U.S. has total control over software upgrades and spare parts on the aircraft. Article content The Ottawa Citizen reported May 5 that the U.S. owns all parts for Canada's F-35s even when they are located at Canadian bases.

1 Low-Risk Way to Help Grow Your Portfolio to $1 Million
For many investors, growing their portfolio to at least $1 million is a key goal, especially if their plan is to have a strong nest egg by retirement. But there's always the temptation to try to generate better returns in a shorter time frame, and that can lead people to take on more risk. The problem, however, becomes that if you incur losses through that strategy, then you may be inclined to take on even more risk to achieve even better returns to offset them. The situation can quickly spiral out of control, and cripple your investment plans. But to get to $1 million, you don't have to take on significant risk. A slow-and-steady approach of remaining invested in a top exchange-traded fund (ETF) for decades can be a no-nonsense way to build up a massive portfolio. Specifically, investing in an ETF that mirrors the broad S&P 500 index can put you on a path to a $1 million portfolio. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Why the S&P 500? The S&P 500 index contains the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. companies. When a business reaches the level where it earns inclusion in the index, that's an added sign of its credibility. Historically, investing in the broad index has been a great strategy. Over the past 97 years, it has averaged an annual total return of around 10%, including dividend reinvestment. Over the course of a 10-year period, an investment that rises by 10% per year will grow by nearly 160%. And over a 20-year period, those gains rise to over 570%. Those are great returns, especially when you consider that the overall risk in this strategy is low. There will of course be years where the overall market performs poorly and loses money, but over the long term, you're likely to amass some strong gains. And you can track the S&P 500 through an ETF such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: SPY). ^SPX data by YCharts. How to grow your portfolio to $1 million There are multiple ways you could invest in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF to put yourself on track to retire with a $1 million portfolio. You could invest a lump sum today and let it sit for the long haul. Or, if you don't have a large amount of money to invest now, then starting with a small amount and steadily investing more money each month or paycheck can work, too. That requires a bit more work, but either way, make sure you're reinvesting your dividends, and then watch your gains compound along the way. As an example of the buy-and-forget approach, let's postulate that you invest $35,000 into the SPY ETF today. Assuming that your investment grows by an average of 10% per year it would take nearly 36 years for it to reach a $1 million valuation. However, if that market doesn't fare as well in the coming decades as it has in the past -- and some pundits and market-watchers view that as a strong possibility given how hot the market has been in recent years -- then it could take longer than that. If instead, you contribute a set amount each month to an index fund, you can still get to a $1 million holding over the long term. Again assuming a 10% annualized return, the table below shows you what your future portfolio balance could be based on varying monthly investment amounts. Years Investing $200 per month Investing $250 per month Investing $300 per month 20 $153,139 $191,424 $229,709 25 $267,578 $334,473 $401,367 30 $455,865 $569,831 $683,798 35 $765,655 $957,069 $1,148,483 40 $1,275,356 $1,594,195 $1,913,034 Calculations by author. If you're able to invest $300 per month, that could put you on track to reach a $1 million portfolio balance before year 35. Tracking the S&P 500 is a safe long-term strategy There's no way to know how the S&P 500 will perform over the long haul, but investing in a fund that tracks it has been one of the best low-risk ways to achieve strong long-run returns. Investing in the SPY ETF can be a sensible strategy for a lot of investors, especially for those who would prefer not to spend a lot of time and effort analyzing individual stocks and managing their portfolios.
