January 26th is the #InternationalDayofCleanEnergy, a day designated by the U.N. General Assembly to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of both people and the planet. As the U.N. states, “In a world grappling with climate change, clean energy plays a vital role in reducing emissions and can also benefit communities lacking access to reliable power sources.”

In recognition of this day, we’d like to highlight some of the unique advantages of waterpower in advancing clean energy. Here are some key facts:

⚡ Canada’s most abundant source of clean energy
🔋 A truly sustainable resource
🌳 Virtually no GHG emissions
🌊 Canada is the fourth-largest waterpower producer in the world
🌿 No air pollutants: Canada’s waterpower-dominant electricity grid is the cleanest among all G20 nations.

Waterpower is a remarkable source of electricity, meeting all the demands of the grid while offering exceptional resilience and flexibility. This allows for the integration of variable renewables like wind and solar, creating a truly virtuous cycle in clean energy generation.
