Hydroelectricity In Canada
Canada is the world's third largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world (after China and Brazil), and one of few countries to generate the majority of its electricity from hydroelectricity (59% in 2006). In 2011, Canada consumed the equivalent of 85.2 megatonnes of oil of hydroelectricity, 10.8% of all the hydroelectricity generated in the world. Some provinces and territories, such as British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Yukon, produce over 90% of their electricity in this manner.
