November 13, 2026 — Amid a federal government hostile to offshore wind, the Healey administration announced Thursday that it would be advancing its clean energy partnership with the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
Massachusetts and Nova Scotia issued a Request for Information (RFI) on Nov. 12 to explore projects that would harness the power of Canadian wind and deliver it to New England homes.
“We need more affordable, reliable energy, and that’s going to take working with our neighbors,” Gov. Maura Healey said in a statement Thursday. “We’re excited to take this next step together.”
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston and Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper made the announcement in Boston at the New England-Canadian Business Council’s annual energy conference.
