Dec 6, 2022 · Canada's energy consumption increased 2.8% to 8 167 petajoules in 2021, following a 10.5% decrease in 2020. Energy use increased in three sectors: the industrial (+5.0%) and transportation (+4.9%) sectors saw the greatest increase, followed by the agriculture (+1.9%) sector.
Oct 30, 2023 · The total amount of electricity generated in Canada increased by 1.3% to 636.2 million megawatt-hours (MWh) in 2022, a rise of 7.9 million MWh from the previous year. This increase was driven by a 3.6% rise (+13.6 million MWh) in hydroelectric generation in 2022.
Nov 20, 2023 · Primary energy production in Canada increased 3.9% in 2022 to 22 616 petajoules. This followed a 4.5% increase in 2021. Crude oil (49.2%) accounted for the largest proportion of primary energy production in Canada in 2022, followed by natural gas (32.8%), primary electricity (8.2%), total coal (5.3%) and gas plant natural gas liquids (4.3%).
Description. In 2019, total generation was 632 TWh. In 2050, total generation is projected to be 819 TWh. 55% is hydro in 2050. 19% is wind in 2050. Capacity is the maximum electric output a facility can produce. Generation is the amount of power actually produced.
- Canada’s Energy Transition. In the Evolving Policies Scenario, combustion of fossil fuels whose emissions are not captured falls 62% from 2021 to 2050, while use of low and non-emitting energy sources increases.
- Low-carbon Electricity. Canadians use more electricity, from increasingly low-carbon sources. Despite total energy use declining, electricity demand grows 47% from 2021 to 2050 in the Evolving Policies Scenario, much of it from new areas such as electric vehicles and hydrogen production.
- Wind and Solar. Wind, solar, and battery storage dominate electric capacity additions in all six net-zero electricity scenarios, making up between 82-85% of added capacity.
- Diverse Electricity Grids. The net-zero electricity scenarios suggest that Canadian power systems will continue to be very distinct across the country, even in a low-carbon future.
Despite total energy use declining by 21%, electricity demand grows 44% from 2021 to 2050 in the Evolving Policies Scenario, much of it from new areas such as electric vehicles and hydrogen production. Canada’s electricity system also gets greener, going from 82% low and non-emitting in 2021 to 95% in 2050.
The Energy Fact Book calculates primary energy production by using two methods. The first method treats the energy embodied in uranium as primary energy, thereby capturing the uranium Canada produces and then exports. This method provides a more accurate picture of energy production in Canada.
