5 Renewable Energy Stocks on the TSX (Updated 2023)

Renewable energy has become an increasingly important part of how clean energy is produced.

From hydroelectricity and natural gas to solar, geothermal and ocean energy, renewable energy is defined by Natural Resources Canada as “energy obtained from natural resources that can be naturally replenished or renewed within a human lifespan.” The organization states that hydroelectricity accounts for nearly 60 percent of Canada’s energy supply. In fact, the country is the second largest producer of hydroelectricity worldwide.

While hydroelectricity remains important, wind and solar are expected to drive the most growth in Canada’s renewable energy production in the coming years. A recent Canadian Renewable Energy Association report shows that the wind, solar and energy storage sector grew by 10.5 percent in 2022 for a total capacity of 19 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale wind and solar energy. The group expects another 5 GW of wind and 2W of solar will be added between 2023 and 2025.

Renewable energy investment in Canada is also rising. ‘Investment in clean energy has also surpassed fossil fuels, with almost two thirds of total global energy spending estimated to flow into the clean energy sector this year,’ notes Clean Energy Canada.

For investors looking to get exposure to the sector, Canada’s TSX is home to a variety of publicly traded renewable energy stocks. In response to growing investor demand, the S&P/TSX Renewable Energy and Clean Technology Index (INDEXTSI:TXCT) was created with a focus on companies in the sector; it is screened by Sustainalytics, one of the world’s leading providers of environmental, social and governance research and analysis. The list below of renewable energy stocks on the TSX was created using the index’s most heavily weighted constituents as of August 8, 2023.
