Development and Regeneration in Canada

摘要

Canada is taking the necessary steps to secure a clean, renewable future based heavily on hydropower. Through new development, regeneration and rehabilitation, Canadian hydro-power is expanding its influence in the power generation industry. Hydropower is thriving in Canada, and work is under way to increase its stronghold in this nation that gets 60% of its electricity from hydro facilities. In fact, during his keynote address at HydroVision International 2012 in Louisville, Ky., Canadian Hydropower Association President Jacob Irving commented that "even as the world's third largest hydropower generator, [Canada] could still realistically more than double [its] existing capacity."
