The Canadian renewable energy stocks we’ve discovered have the potential for decent gains this year
SmallCapPower | May 11, 2020: The recent meltdown in the oil price might actually benefit the renewable energy industry, as some fossil fuel jobs and capital may begin to flow into sustainable power.

Today we have identified three Canadian renewable energy stocks that could perform well relative to other industries in 2020.
