1. • • Natural gas is a major source of energy for Ontario, both for industrial and heating applications, and also serves as the fuel for not quite 30 per cent of the province’s electricity mix (if we’re running the system at maximum — the actual percentage of our electricity being generated with natural gas is often less on days when demand is below peak and can be handled by our nuclear and hydro-electric plants).

   Where does Ontario produce natural gas?

   • All of the province’s natural gas production is in southern Ontario. Ontario’s remaining resource of recoverable, sales-quality natural gas was estimated to be 665 billion cubic feet (Bcf) at year-end 2019. The Sarnia NGL fractionator is one of the main sources of propane and butane for eastern Canada.
