Manitoba Unveils Ambitious Energy Plan with Indigenous Wind Power Partnerships

The new plan includes nation-to-nation agreements for wind farms, financial incentives for clean energy, and a shift towards electric heating.

The Manitoba Métis Federation First Nations will co-own wind farms generating up to 600 megawatts of power.
The plan aims to keep hydro rates affordable while increasing renewable energy capacity and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Financial incentives will be provided for energy efficiency and electric vehicle adoption, including rebates and discounted energy rates.
The government will introduce new building and energy codes to enhance energy efficiency and promote clean heating sources like electric heat pumps.
The plan also includes stronger oversight of the oil and gas sector and a green hydrogen strategy to support the transition to renewable energy.
