As Canada looks to move its power grid toward net-zero with new federal regulations, the vast majority of the country already gets its electricity fromĀ emissions-free sources.
In 2020, 84 per cent of the countryās electricity came from these sourcesĀ ā mostly hydro, along with smaller amounts of nuclear, wind and solar.

While renewable power generation has roughly doubled in the past seven yearsĀ ā and the province now gets more electricity from wind and solar than it does from coalĀ ā those green sources of power only amounted for 13 per cent of total generation
