Power capacity by source in Canada 2020
Hydroelectric plants have the highest installed capacity of any energy source used for electricity generation in Canada. As of 2020, hydropower plants had an estimated capacity of 81.4 gigawatts. This was more than three times the capacity of gas-fired turbines, which are Canada's second largest energy source. Unsurprisingly, hydraulic turbines are also the main source of electricity generation in Canada.
