Breakdown on how electricity is generated in Canada between 2016 to 2024. Over 77% of electricity generated comes from renewable sources including hydro, nuclear and wind. Hydro makes up over 55% of all electricity generated.

  1. Source: Statistics Canada. Table 25-10-0015-01  Electric power generation, monthly generation by type of electricity

    Tool: Excel

  2. It would be more impactful if we could see the numbers in at least the major colours. Did we reduce our total or relative amount of the combustible fuel ?

  3. You can’t even spell the provinces correctly? British Columbia, not Colombia.

  4. I’m puzzled that overall generation has trended a bit downward from ’16 – ’24.

  5. I would love to see what the other provinces look like. do you plan on doing any other places. like NS for example?

  6. Very cool.

    How is this number calculated? I’m in guessing this is strictly production, because I’ve been told that by somebody at BC hydro that they make a lot of their money selling capacity to the US at peak consumption and then buying power back, mostly California nuclear power, when it’s cheap. I’m not sure what impact this has on your charts.

    Also wtf Alberta.

  7. Why do hydraulic, nuclear and wind specify turbine, but combustible doesn’t specify turbine?
