Electricity generation by source by province and territory Electricity generated in the calendar year by all producers (utilities and industry), in gigawatt hours (derived from megawatt hours), and the shares from hydro, nuclear, wind, solar and combustible fuels (derived by Quadranac from the published totals). Some detailed types are suppressed by Statistics Canada for confidentiality, so shares are shown only where published.
