**Highlights**
13+
14+
- Electric power generation fell 6.7% to 44.4 TWh in September 2025
15+
- Year-over-year generation was down 2.4% compared with September 2024
16+
- Hydroelectric power accounted for 52% of total generation
17+
- Wind power contributed 2.9 TWh, representing 6.5% of total output

21+
Electric power generation in Canada totalled 44.4 terawatt hours (TWh) in September 2025, down 6.7% from August. Compared with September 2024, generation was down 2.4%.
22+
23+
The seasonal decline reflects lower electricity demand as summer cooling needs subside. Generation typically peaks in winter months when heating demand is highest.

## Generation by source
60+
61+
Hydroelectric power remained the dominant source of electricity in Canada, generating 22.9 TWh in September — accounting for 52% of total output. Canada's abundant hydro resources, particularly in Quebec, British Columbia, and Manitoba, make it one of the largest hydroelectric producers in the world.
62+
63+
Combustible fuels (natural gas and coal) contributed 11.7 TWh, while nuclear power plants generated 6.4 TWh. Wind power added 2.9 TWh to the grid.

## Note to readers
105+
106+
Electric power generation data includes electricity produced by electric utilities, industrial establishments that generate electricity for their own use, and other electricity producers. One terawatt hour equals 1,000 gigawatt hours or 1,000,000 megawatt hours.
