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.
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.
- 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.
Results. Total Primary Energy Use. In the Evolving Policies Scenario, Canadians reduce their energy consumption and adopt lower carbon sources. Total primary energy use falls 21% from 2021 to 2050. Low and non-emitting sources of energy grow to make up the strong majority of energy use.
Canadian energy use demand is projected to decline to 2050. These declines result from several drivers, including macroeconomics, energy production trends, energy efficiency improvements, policies, technology advancements, and market developments. End-use demand is energy used by final consumers.
Nov 16, 2022 · The total amount of electricity generated in Canada decreased by 1.3% to 625.9 million megawatt-hours in 2021, a drop of 8.0 million MWh from the previous year. The main drivers for the decline were attributed to the decrease in nuclear and hydro generation.
