In 2016, Canada’s energy sector directly and indirectly accounted for 884,000 jobs, or 5% of the total workforce.

Between 2005 and 2015, Canada’s GHG emissions in the energy sector decreased 2.2% while real GDP grew by 16.9%.

In 2015, the production and consumption of energy in Canada accounted for 81% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2015, 80% of Canada’s electricity supply was generated from non-GHG emitting sources.

Almost 2/3 of Canada’s electricity was generated from renewable sources, placing Canada first in the G7.

In 2015, there were 325 publicly traded Canadian-based energy companies with energy assets totalling $536 billion.

$21 billion is received annually by government from the energy sector (2011-2015).

Between 1990 and 2014, energy efficiency improved in Canada by 25%.

In 2014, these improvements saved Canadians $38.5 billion.
