The disappointing statistics have appeared even though Canadian governments have rushed to promote and subsidize clean energy. Canada has been lagging on renewable energy since provincial renewable power policies haven't produced long term certainty, according to a report published in Financial Post.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, provincial premiers and aboriginal leaders are scheduled to sit in a meeting in Vancouver this week. They will discuss on a pan-Canadian framework to meet greenhouse gas reduction emissions commitments made in Paris in December.

The framework will be developed considering the actions already taken by the provinces and territories, Trudeau has hinted during a February 10 statement. Clean Energy Canada has also revealed that unprecedented $367 billion has been invested globally in renewable energy during 2015. The Paris commitments have been expected to boost the momentum globally.

The Clean Energy Group has also disclosed that clean energy costs are getting down while production and experience increase. The subsidized energy cost in the US has come down to 61% since 2009 and utility scale solar photovoltaic to 82%. With further investments, the costs are expected to get down further.
