Canada Electricity Generation
Net electricity generation in Canada totaled 626,590 GWh in 2025 (OECD/IEA Monthly Electricity Statistics: Generation (MESGEN) net generation statistics). Rank among mapped countries: #7. Renewable share: 64.6%.
Continually increasing levels of wind and solar coverage since January 2017 until December 2018. New methodology and higher coverage since April 2019 (starting with MES January 2019 publication). Reviewed data back to January 2016. Monthly reporting does not include the breakdown for conventional thermal production, transmission and distribution losses or hydro used for pumped storage, therefore it is estimated by the IEA Secretariat.
