Energy facts

From an energy perspective, Canada is very fortunate.

  • We have a large land mass, small population and one of the largest and most diverse supplies of energy in the world. Our rivers discharge close to 7% of the world's renewable water – a tremendous source of hydroelectric power.
  • We have the fourth-largest global supply of proven oil reserves and third-largest reserves of uranium.
  • Canada is at the forefront of innovative technologies for how we produce and use energy.

The Energy Fact Book provides key information on energy markets in Canada in a format that is easy to consult, providing solid foundation for Canadians to understand and discuss important developments across the energy sector.
