# Nova Scotia Launches Renewable Energy Procurement

Nova Scotia has initiated its second competitive procurement round under the Green Choice Program to acquire approximately 350 MW of new renewable energy capacity, aiming to supply 1,200 GWh annually. This procurement offers 25-year pricing contracts and targets large industrial and institutional customers who can purchase renewable electricity directly. Project selections are expected by May 2027, supporting Nova Scotia's Clean Power Plan goal of achieving 80% renewable electricity and phasing out coal by 2030.

- This procurement presents significant opportunities for renewable energy developers and contractors specializing in large-scale clean energy projects.
- Procurement professionals should note the long-term contract duration (25 years) and the focus on direct supply to major customers, which may influence contract structuring and risk assessments.
- The initiative reflects provincial policy priorities toward decarbonization and clean energy transition, signaling potential for future renewable procurement rounds.
- Organizations involved in project development, financing, and grid integration should evaluate participation strategies aligned with the May 2027 selection timeline.
