Overview
Canada’s 2025 solar story is splitting into two tracks: a small reported year for utility-scale additions, and a potentially stronger behind-the-meter market that is not yet fully captured in official totals because utilities are still finalizing new-connection data. CanREA is simultaneously pointing to a longer-run growth outlook tied to provincial procurement pipelines.

Why now
- CanREA published its annual 2025 utility-scale solar deployment data
- Utilities are still compiling 2025 behind-the-meter interconnection totals
- CanREA paired current-year data with a longer-term capacity forecast
Why it matters
- Low utility-scale additions may signal near-term pipeline or execution constraints
- Pending behind-the-meter data could materially change the 2025 deployment picture
- 2035 outlook links growth expectations to provincial procurement pipelines

Recurring claims
- CanREA data shows Canada added 57 MW of utility-scale solar in 2025, with new projects identified in Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon.
- Official 2025 behind-the-meter solar deployment figures are not yet finalized because utilities are still collecting data on new connections.
- CanREA forecasts Canada’s cumulative solar capacity could rise from 5.4 GW today to around 21 GW by 2035, citing a healthy procurement pipeline across most provinces.
