AI Article Summary

Canada has designated four offshore wind energy areas off the coast of Nova Scotia, marking a step forward in developing the region’s offshore wind industry. The designated areas include French Bank, Middle Bank, Sable Island Bank, and Sydney Bight. The initiative aims to license 5 GW of offshore wind by 2030, enhancing Nova Scotia's potential as a clean energy exporter. The public's feedback influenced the designation of these areas, and a competitive licensing process for private companies will follow.
