Canada forecast to add up to 26GW of solar PV by 2035
['Jonathan Touriño Jacobo']
PV Tech
Between 2035 and 2050, the total installed capacity for solar PV, wind and energy storage will grow by a further 50-60%.
This growth would lead wind and solar to increase their share of electricity supply to Canada from 10% today to 21% in 2035, mostly boosted by wind’s growth (30-51GW).
The up to 26GW of solar PV additions would equal a more than tenfold increase from the 2.3GW of installed capacity for the technology as of July 2025.
Energy storage would see a similar growth pattern to solar PV over the coming decade, as there is 1GW of installed energy storage as of July 2025.
Most of the installed utility-scale solar capacity is located in Alberta, with nearly 2GW of operational solar PV, followed by Ontario and Prairies.
