Energy Development

Nationwide parcel data for energy development

Land decisions sit behind every solar farm, wind project, and transmission line. Land Records gives energy teams the parcel boundaries, parcel IDs, and area to screen sites, plan routes, and secure land — across every province and territory.

Land decisions sit behind every energy project

Inconsistent, municipality-by-municipality records slow siting and land acquisition to a crawl. One standardized nationwide parcel layer keeps your whole team moving.

Screen sites with real context

Evaluate candidate sites with authoritative boundaries, area, and land use — before anyone drives out.

Connect assets to the land

Tie generation, storage, and lines to the parcels around them for interconnection and land planning.

Align maps, apps, and the field

A single parcel layer feeds your GIS, analytics, and field tools — so everyone works from the same ground truth.

Built for how energy teams work with land

Renewable site screening

Find parcels that meet your acreage, geometry, and location criteria for solar and wind feasibility.

Transmission & distribution

Map parcels along a corridor to plan gen-tie and transmission routing with fewer surprises.

Right-of-way & acquisition

Identify adjacent parcels and their PINs to support easements, options, and leases.

Storage siting

Spot interconnection-adjacent parcels of the right size and move quickly to secure them.

Field planning & site visits

Give field crews accurate boundaries and parcel context before they mobilize.

Energy maps & analytics

Enrich your own maps and models with a nationwide parcel foundation.

Common questions

What does "nationwide coverage" actually mean?

We cover 11M+ parcels across all 13 provinces and territories as a single standardized layer, in the same schema as our US layer — released quarterly for bulk downloads and served by the web service. Per-province coverage is listed on the coverage page.

Can you help with renewable site selection?

Yes. Screen regions for parcels that meet your acreage, geometry, and location criteria, then pull ownership and adjacency to move on the best candidates.

Does this support right-of-way and transmission planning?

Map every parcel along a corridor with its parcel ID and legal description, so you can plan routing and land acquisition with the full picture.

How do I integrate the data with our systems?

Use bulk file downloads for your data warehouse, or the managed web service (WMS, vector tiles, and feature service) to stream parcels into your GIS and apps.

How current is the data?

The web service (API) is refreshed every two weeks. Bulk downloads are quarterly releases, and an annual license includes a year of those quarterly updates.
