Overview

Canada is transitioning its energy sector toward net-zero by expanding renewables and carbon-capture technology, while balancing federal climate goals with provincial energy policy.

Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.

Highlights

  • The federal government targets a 45-50% reduction in GHG emissions in 2035 (compared to 2005) and zero emissions in 2050.
  • Most power production comes from state-owned companies.
  • CNR, Cenovus, and Suncor produce around half of the total oil output.
  • Main gas producers include CNR, Oventiv, and Repsol, while Enbridge is the largest gas distributor.
  • Non-conventional oil provides more than 65% of total oil production.
  • CO2-free sources add up to 76% of the power mix, with a dominant share of hydro (54%).
  • Final consumption at normal climate increased by 2% in 2025, after remaining stable since 2022.
  • Motor fuel prices dropped by 9% in 2025, following a decreasing trend since the 2022 price spike.
  • Final consumption is expected to decrease by 5% by 2050, with the electricity share almost doubling to 34%.
  • Fossil fuel use should decline by 41% by 2050.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

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

  • Energy Companies

    Gas:

    CNR produced 26.2 bcm (72 mcm/d) in 2025 (almost 15% of the total gas supply of the country), in both the Montney and Deep Basins.

    Ovintiv (previously Encana) produced 19 bcm (53 mcm/d) in 2025. It operates mainly in the Montney basin in Alberta and British Columbia. In end 2025, Ovintiv acquired NuVista Energy's oil and natural gas Montney Basin assets for US$2.7bn.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Oil:

    Oil production (crude, NGL, and non-conventional oil) has increased by 4.4%/year since 2010, reaching 314 Mt in 2025 (+82%). It has more than doubled since 2000. This progression follows the development of non-conventional oil, which accounted for 66% of total oil production in 2025.

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Transport:

    Motor fuel prices decreased by 9% in 2025, reaching US$1.22/l for gasoline and US$1.15/l for diesel. They had been following a decreasing since 2022, after a strong progression between 2020 and 2022 (+63% for gasoline and nearly doubling for diesel), following international trends.

  • Issues & Prospects

    In 2026, CER has released the update of its long-term energy outlook for 2050, Canada's Energy Future Report 2026 (EF2026). In the Canada Net-zero Scenario that is presented in the report, CER sees Canadians reducing their final energy consumption by 5% from 2023 to 2050.

The Canada energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Canada country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
