Canada is a global hydroelectricity powerhouse. As the world’s third-largest producer of hydroelectric power, Canada generates about 8% of global hydropower while representing just 0.5% of the world’s population.

Hydroelectricity powers 6 in 10 Canadian homes and businesses, and nearly 16 million Canadians live in provinces where 90% or more of electricity supply comes from hydro. In many of Canada’s top hydro-producing provinces, residents and businesses also benefit from some of the lowest electricity prices in the country.

With about 9% of Canada’s land surface covered by freshwater, plus two million lakes and countless rivers and streams, Canada has the natural advantages to remain a hydroelectric leader for decades to come. Expanding hydro dams and hydroelectric infrastructure can help deliver reliable electricity, energy security, grid stability, and long-term power supply for Canadian families, businesses, and industry.

Watch to learn why hydroelectricity is one of Canada’s greatest energy advantages and why hydro power matters for Canada’s economy, electricity system, and future growth.
