Chapter 6 - Electricity Generation Sector
The Data Situation
Energy use and production data for the electricity generation sector are reported in Statistics Canada’s Report on Energy Supply and Demand in Canada (RESD) (Cat. No. 57-003-X). The RESD does not provide energy use data for the electricity generated from wood and other non-specified fuel, hydro and nuclear categories. Electricity production data for these three energy sources are converted to energy use data using energy content values of 10.500, 3.600 and 11.564 megajoules per kilowatt-hour, respectively.
Gross domestic product (GDP) data at basic prices are from Statistics Canada, Table 36-10-0434-03, Ottawa, 2025.
Due to rounding, the numbers in the tables may not add up or calculate to their
reported totals or growth rates.
