How does Nova Scotia compare to other regions?

For a bit of perspective, here's how we compare to some other jurisdictions:

Location Installed Capacity (MW) MW Installed per km2 MW Installed per Person
Nova Scotia 59.26 0.0011 0.00006
Prince Edward Island 72.36 0.0127 0.0005
Alberta 442.57 0.0007 0.0001

As the chart clearly shows:

Germany and Denmark have the most wind energy per person and per square kilometre.

Nova Scotia's wind generation is expected to grow by over 500% in the next few years.
