Quantifying Canada’s Clean Energy Economy
May 2019
Clean Energy Canada engaged Navius Research to estimate the size of the clean energy economy in Canada. Navius worked with Clean Energy Canada to come up with workable definitions for what constitutes the clean energy economy and then quantified its contribution to Canadian GDP, investment and employment. This project is intended to help Clean Energy Canada promote a broader dialogue about the benefits of expanding the clean energy economy, a sector which is often under-defined in national statistics.
