Overview

This analysis includes a comprehensive Canada energy market report and updated datasets. It is derived from the most recent key economic indicators, supply and demand factors, oil and gas pricing trends and major energy issues and developments surrounding the energy industry. The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.

Highlights

  • The federal government targets to reduce GHG emissions by 40 to 45% in 2030 and to have a net-zero electricity mix by 2035 and zero emissions in 2050.
  • Most power production comes from state-owned companies.
  • CNR, Cenovus, and Suncor are the largest oil producers, with almost half of total output.
  • Gas production is dominated by 3 companies, Encana, CNR, and Repsol, which account for 2/3 of the total, while Enbridge is the largest distributor of gas.
  • Non-conventional oil provides more than 60% of total oil production.
  • Canada is the fourth largest crude oil and NGL producer in the world and the fifth for gas.
  • CO2-free energy sources add up to 82% of the power mix, with a dominant share of hydro (60%).
  • Motor fuel prices have increased by around 80% since 2020. Energy prices are much lower than in Europe, but generally higher than in the US.
  • Total energy consumption rebounded by 4% in 2022.
  • Three quarters of the energy mix still comes from fossil fuels.
  • Wind and solar will represent at least 23% of the power generation in 2050.
  • An LNG capacity of 56 bcm/year should be commissioned by 2025.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    NRCan, Natural Resources Canada, is the ministry in charge of the development of federal energy policy.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    Canada is the fifth largest natural gas producer in the world (after the United States, Russia, Iran, and China); production increased by 1.7%/year on average between 2013 and 2022 to 205 bcm (7.5% of which in 2022 and 3.5% in 2021). The production mainly comes from Alberta (70% of the total production).

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    Electricity prices in Canada are about twice as low as in most large European countries: US$12.5c/kWh for the residential sector and US$9.4c/kWh for industry (2022). Compared to the USA, electricity prices are lower for households (US$14.5c/kWh for the USA) but higher for industry (US$7.9c/kWh for the USA).

  • Energy Consumption

    At 7.7 toe, Canada's per capita energy consumption is among the highest in the world and almost triple the average EU level. Electricity consumption per capita is around 14.9 MWh.

    Total energy consumption increased by 4% in 2022 to 301 Mtoe, following a 2% rise in 2021 and a 6% drop in 2020. It increased slightly between 2010 and 2019 (1.3%/year on average at normal climate).

  • Issues & Prospects

    CER released the update of its long-term energy outlook for 2050, Canada's Energy Future Report 2021 (EF2021). CER sees Canadians reducing their overall energy consumption by 21% over the next 30 years (-1.2%/year). Specifically, the projection sees unabated fossil fuel use (i.e without carbon capture and sequestration) decline by 19% by 2030, 45% by 2040, and 62% by 2050.
