Found 10 records similar to Conventional thermal, annual generating capacity by class of electricity producer and principal fuel
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).
Data presented at the national and provincial levels, however not all combinations are available. Electric power generating capacity by class of electricity producer (public and private electric utilities, as well as industries) and type of electricity generation (Hydraulic turbine, Wind power turbine, Tidal power turbine, etc).
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.
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.
The Canadian Wind Turbine Database contains the geographic location and key technology details for wind turbines installed in Canada. This dataset was jointly compiled by researchers at CanmetENERGY-Ottawa and by the Centre for Applied Business Research in Energy and the Environment at the University of Alberta, under contract from Natural Resources Canada. Note that total project capacity was sourced from publicly available information, and may not match the sum of individual turbine rated capacity due to de-rating and other factors. The turbine numbering scheme adopted for this database is not intended to match the developer’s asset numbering.
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.
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).
