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.
- 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.
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.

Canada’s Energy Future 2021: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050 (EF2021) is the latest long-term energy outlook from the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). The Canada’s Energy Future series explores how possible energy futures might unfold for Canadians over the long term.
Mar 9, 2022 · After a slight 0.1% increase in November, electricity consumption in Canada rose 1.8% in December 2021, compared with a year earlier, to 57.1 million MWh. The increase was partially attributable to colder-than-usual temperatures in certain parts of Canada and the subsequent higher demand for heating.
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.
