Hydroelectricity generation in Canada 2022, by province

Quebec is by far the leading province for hydroelectric power generation in Canada. In 2022, approximately 200 terawatt hours of electricity had been generated from hydropower in the country's South-Eastern province. British Columbia followed at 63 terawatt hours of hydropower generation that year. Canada's hydropower generation Since the development of hydropower facilities at the end of the 19th century, hydropower has gained to be the leading source of electricity across the country. In 2021, Canada's hydropower production was nearly 383 terawatt hours of energy. Canada had the fourth largest installed hydropower capacity as of 2022 and is expected to double its capacity in the future to reduce carbon emissions in order to meet the country’s greenhouse gas emissions targets. Canada's hydropower consumption Canada accounted for approximately nine percent of the world's hydropower consumption in 2022. The North American country is one of the world’s few net energy exporters, and most of the country’s energy exports are from hydropower. The clean electricity supplied by hydropower supports the growth of industry and infrastructure and brings jobs and development to communities.

魁北克省无疑是加拿大水电发电的领先省份。截至2022年，该国的东南部省份已从水电中产生了约200太瓦时的电力。当年，不列颠哥伦比亚省的水电发电量位居第二，达到63太瓦时。自19世纪末水电设施的开发以来，水电已成为全国主要的电力来源。2021年，加拿大水电产量接近383太瓦时的能源。截至2022年，加拿大拥有全球第四大的水电装机容量，预计未来将将其容量翻倍，以减少碳排放，以满足国家温室气体排放目标。加拿大水电消费量在2022年约占全球水电消费量的九个百分点。作为北美地区为数不多的净能源出口国之一，该国大部分能源出口均来自水电。水电提供的清洁电力支撑了工业和基础设施的发展，并为社区带来了就业和繁荣。
