• Electricity Generation(ELEC_GEN_TOTAL_CA)

  Total electricity generated in Canada in megawatt-hours per month, from Statistics Canada's monthly electric power survey, all producer classes and all generation types combined. Generation peaks in winter, when heating and lighting load are highest, and the level grows slowly with population and electrification. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Wind(ELEC_GEN_WIND_CA)

  Electricity generated by wind turbines in Canada in megawatt-hours per month. Wind has grown from near zero in 2008 to one of the largest sources after hydro and nuclear. Monthly output is weather-driven and usually strongest in winter and spring. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Hydro(ELEC_GEN_HYDRO_CA)

  Electricity generated by hydraulic turbines in Canada in megawatt-hours per month. Hydro is Canada's largest source, roughly 55 to 60 percent of all generation, concentrated in Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador. The series swings with water conditions: dry years show up here as lower output and higher imports. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Solar(ELEC_GEN_SOLAR_CA)

  Electricity generated from solar in Canada in megawatt-hours per month, almost all of it in Ontario. This counts grid-scale and reported generation only; rooftop solar behind the meter is largely invisible to the survey, so the series understates total solar output. Strongly seasonal, peaking in June and July. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Quebec(ELEC_GEN_TOTAL_QC)

  Total electricity generated in Quebec in megawatt-hours per month, all generation types combined. Quebec is almost entirely hydroelectric and is the largest provincial system; its winter peak and export contracts make it the anchor of eastern North American power trade. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Alberta(ELEC_GEN_TOTAL_AB)

  Total electricity generated in Alberta in megawatt-hours per month, all generation types combined. Alberta's system has shifted from coal to natural gas and a fast-growing wind and solar fleet over the past decade, which this total and its fuel breakdown show directly. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Biomass(ELEC_GEN_BIOMASS_CA)

  Electricity generated from biomass (wood waste, landfill gas and similar fuels) in Canada in megawatt-hours per month. It is a small, steady source tied to the forestry industry, mostly in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. Consistent series from 2020. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Nuclear(ELEC_GEN_NUCLEAR_CA)

  Electricity generated by nuclear steam turbines in Canada in megawatt-hours per month, essentially all of it in Ontario. Output drops sharply during reactor refurbishment outages, which are multi-year programs, so the series steps down and back up on maintenance schedules rather than demand. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Ontario(ELEC_GEN_TOTAL_ON)

  Total electricity generated in Ontario in megawatt-hours per month, all generation types combined. Ontario is the second largest provincial system, built on nuclear and hydro with gas as the marginal source. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Fossil Fuels(ELEC_GEN_FOSSIL_CA)

  Electricity generated from non-renewable combustible fuels (Statistics Canada's grouping of natural gas, coal and oil fired generation) in megawatt-hours per month. It is the fossil share of Canadian electricity: watch it fall as Alberta's coal phase-out and carbon pricing work through the system, with natural gas partly offsetting coal's decline. Consistent series from 2020. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: British Columbia(ELEC_GEN_TOTAL_BC)

  Total electricity generated in British Columbia in megawatt-hours per month, all generation types combined. BC is a hydro system: in wet years it exports heavily to the US Pacific Northwest, in dry years it imports. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Generation: Combustible Fuels(ELEC_GEN_COMBUSTIBLE_CA)

  Electricity generated by burning combustible fuels (natural gas, coal, oil, biomass and others) in Canada in megawatt-hours per month, from Statistics Canada. This is the dispatchable part of the grid: it rises when hydro reservoirs are low or demand peaks. Available on a consistent basis from 2016. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Deliveries to the United States(ELEC_EXPORTS_US_CA)

  Electricity delivered from Canada to the United States in megawatt-hours per month, from Statistics Canada's electric power receipts and deliveries table. For July 2026 this matches the Canada Energy Regulator's total electricity export figure to the digit, a useful cross-check between the two sources. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.

• Electricity Receipts from the United States(ELEC_IMPORTS_US_CA)

  Electricity received from the United States in megawatt-hours per month, from Statistics Canada's electric power receipts and deliveries table. Receipts are much smaller than deliveries in most months; the gap between the two is Canada's net export position. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.
