Electricity in Canada is most expensive in the Northwest Territories. Due to their remote location, the Northwest territories are largely reliant on diesel fuel and to some extent hydro power for their electricity generation. By comparison, the widespread use of hydroelectric dams in Québec contributes to the province having the cheapest electricity prices in all of Canada, at 7.3 Canadian cents in 2021 for a monthly consumption of 1,000 kilowatt hours.
