This table contains 1155 series, with data for years 2011-2019 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years). This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (11 items: Canada; Newfoundland and Labrador; Prince Edward Island; Nova Scotia; ...); Type of dwelling (7 items: Single-detached; Double; Row or terrace; Duplex; ...); Energy type (4 items: Total, all energy types; Electricity; Natural gas; Heating oil); Energy consumption (4 items: Gigajoules; Gigajoules per household; Proportion of total energy; Number of households).

Natural gas is the main energy source consumed by Canada's manufacturing sector. In 2022, the manufacturing sector used roughly 694 petajoules worth of natural gas, followed by 647 petajoules worth of electricity.

Renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption) in Canada was reported at 23.8 % in 2021, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Canada - Renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on October of 2025.

The domain of interest is Energy; however, the focus is to observe the trends between the different sources used for electricity generation among Canada and its provinces from 2005 to 2016, and to compare the trends for electricity generation to electricity consumption in Canada from 2005 to 2015. The main problem that will be investigated is how much of a particular source is used for electricity generation in Canada over these eleven years and what is the least and most used source of electricity generation over Canada. It will also be observed whether the proportion of electricity generated by each source in Canada during 2016, is consistent with the proportion of electricity generated by each source in every province. Additionally electricity consumption for the provinces will be studied to determine which province consumes the most and least amounts of electricity in Canada. The significance of this problem is to understand which sources are highly used to generate electric power in the provinces and in Canada. If a source is being used the most in Canada and in the provinces, it will lead us to find possible ways to generate electricity from the least used sources, so the country and its provinces do not depend on one source for electric power. It will also be observed if the electricity generation by each province has increased, decreased or remain constant from 2005-2016. From this data we can also infer which province generates the most and least amount of electric power and determine which abundant resources are available to each province for its electricity generation. Moreover, by comparing the trends for electricity consumption and electricity generation it will be observed if any province consumes more electricity than it generates. If so we can find ways to provide that province with more electrcity by importing it from other provinces.

The Remote Communities Energy Database is a public resource that provides pertinent factual information about the generation and use of electricity and other energy sources for all remote communities in Canada. Communities are identified as remote communities if they are not currently connected to the North-American electrical grid nor to the piped natural gas network; and is a permanent or long-term (5 years or more) settlement with at least 10 dwellings. The Remote Communities Energy Database is the only national data source on energy in remote communities that is publically available on one centralized site. The Remote Communities Energy Database allows users to search and conduct analyses of remote communities and their energy context. Users are also able download the data from the Remote Communities Energy Database dataset in CSV (i.e., excel compatible) format. This data is collected from a number of sources including the remote communities themselves, local utilities, provincial and territorial government’s, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), Statistics Canada, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and various other stakeholders.

Data on the quantity of energy purchased and the energy expenses are presented at the national level, by energy source (electricity, heavy fuel oil, diesel, natural gas, etc.) and by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Not all combinations may be available.

Global energy supply reached around 590 exajoules in 2024. This represented an increase of roughly two percent in comparison to 2023. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on transportation fuel demand and the overall economic performance resulted in primary energy consumption declining to 2016 levels. Nevertheless, worldwide energy consumption is projected to increase over the next few decades. Most common types of fuel Oil is the main primary energy fuel in the world, followed by other fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. Each of these three sources had consumption levels of more than 140 exajoules in 2023, while other fuel types were consumed considerably less. However, in recent years, renewables have become more frequently used as worldwide investment in clean energy has more than doubled since 2014. Energy industry performance Energy use rose consistently every year over the last two decades except for 2009 and 2020, following the global financial crisis and the aforementioned coronavirus pandemic. As fossil fuels remain the largest source of energy consumption, the prices of these commodities serve as an indicator of overall energy industry performance.
