Ontario’s Renewable Energy Atlas illustrates Ontario's renewable energy potential and provides information to assist with identifying a potential renewable energy site. The Atlas is an interactive web tool that allows users to create and view maps of wind and water energy resources in the Province. The viewer can tailor the maps to meet their needs, from high level overview to detailed information.
Renewable Energy Atlas
Prepared wind resource maps available for immediate viewing and downloading:
- General wind resource maps with wind height and location at 100m resolution
- Seasonal wind maps - created at 30 and 80 m above ground level (agl) for each of the seasons.
