Found 10 records similar to Installed plants, annual generating capacity by type of electricity generation
Electricity generation by class of electricity producer (including electric utilities and industries) and type of electricity generation (hydro, wind, hydraulic turbine, etc). Data presented at the national and provincial levels, not all combinations are available.
Conventional thermal, annual generating capacity by class of electricity producer and principal fuel
Data presented at the national and provincial levels, however not all combinations are available. Conventional thermal generating capacity by class of electricity producer (electric utilities and industries), type of generation (Conventional steam turbine, combustion turbine and internal combustion turbine) and principal fuel (Coal, oil, natural gas, etc).
This map shows the 630 generating stations operated by utilities, with the stations being classed by their operating technology. The seven technologies shown represent water-power (hydro-electric and tidal), conventional thermal (internal combustion, combustion turbine, and steam), nuclear, and alternative fuels (wind energy).
A generating station is an industrial facility built and operated to generate electricity. The map shows the 916 generating stations (power plants) operating in 2007. There were 479 hydroelectric stations, 375 thermal plants (combustion, internal combustion and steam), 7 nuclear plants, 54 wind turbines and 1 tidal power plant.

The reliance on wind as a source of energy is increasing in Canada and around the world. Some residents in communities that host large-scale turbine electricity generators have reported adverse health effects which they attribute to the sound emitted by operating wind turbines.
Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by hydropower, which usually requires the potential energy of water stored behind a dam to drive a water turbine and generator. The map shows 632 large dams and 6 major dams. Major dams are defined as being greater than 150 metres in height and large dams as between 10 to 15 metres and 150 metres. Also, mapped are 479 hydroelectric generating stations.
This table contains 19 series, with data for years 1950 - 1984 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and is no longer being released. This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (12 items: Canada; Newfoundland and Labrador; Prince Edward Island; Nova Scotia; ...); Electric power (8 items: Total generation of electric power; Total generation, hydraulic power; Total generation, thermal power; Total net generation of electric power; ...).
Supply and disposition characteristics of electric power are presented, such as generation, imports, exports, sales and others. Data are presented at the national and provincial levels, not all combinations are available. These data include estimates (Electricity quantity and Electricity value).
