Energy Update - April 2017


CanadaMoM

Canada is among the world’s top countries relying mostly on clean hydro energy.  The primary sources of electricity generated are 63.5% hydro, 19% gas and combustion, 16% nuclear, 1.5% renewables (wind, solar, etc.).  Coal-based power generation was eliminated in Ontario and Quebec, and is being replaced with gas and renewable energy (wind/solar) in other provinces.  The regulatory environment is centered at the provincial level, which has full authority over the local electrical system regulations, policies, and enforcement.

Best prospects for U.S. energy exports to Canada are considered to be Power Generation and Renewables. Canada is one of the world leaders in the production and use of energy from renewable sources: hydro, wind, solar, biomass with significant developments in geothermal and marine energy, – accounting for 65% of Canada’s total electricity generation. The electrical energy sector in Canada has a total installed generating capacity of 134 GW and is projected to reach 170 GW in 2035.
