Province Primary Source Capacity Clean Energy Price (Industrial) Grid Operator

Data Notes

Capacity figures represent installed nameplate generation capacity as reported to the Canada Energy Regulator. Clean energy percentage reflects the share of generation from non-emitting sources (hydro, nuclear, wind, solar). Pricing is an industrial average rate in Canadian cents per kilowatt-hour.

  • BC, MB, QC, NL: Predominantly hydroelectric — high clean percentage and low cost reflect mature hydro infrastructure.
  • ON: Nuclear fleet contributes heavily to clean profile. IESO manages one of the largest electricity markets in North America.
  • AB: Deregulated electricity market (AESO). Capacity and pricing reflect wholesale market averages and include significant wind expansion.
  • SK, NS, NB: Active transition underway — coal retirements and renewable additions are shifting these provinces' clean profiles year-over-year.
  • PEI: Small grid connected to mainland via submarine cable; wind generation exceeds local demand at times.
  • Territories (YT, NT, NU) are not included in this table due to the absence of standardized comparable data.
