According to the International Hydropower Association, Canada is the fourth largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world in 2021 after the United States, Brazil, and China. In 2014, Canada consumed the equivalent of 85.7 megatonnes worth of oil of hydroelectricity, 9.8% of worldwide hydroelectric consumption. Furthermore, hydroelectricity accounted for 25.7% of Canada's total energy consumption (37.3% of non-oil sources). It is the third-most consumed energy in Canada behind oil and natural gas (30.9% and 28.1% of total consumption, respectively).

has abstract	According to the International Hydropower Association, Canada is the fourth largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world in 2021 after the United States, Brazil, and China. In 2014, Canada consumed the equivalent of 85.7 megatonnes worth of oil of hydroelectricity, 9.8% of worldwide hydroelectric consumption. Furthermore, hydroelectricity accounted for 25.7% of Canada's total energy consumption (37.3% of non-oil sources). It is the third-most consumed energy in Canada behind oil and natural gas (30.9% and 28.1% of total consumption, respectively). Some provinces and territories, such as British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Yukon produce over 90% of their electricity from Hydro. All of the dams with large reservoirs were completed before 1990, since then most development has been run-of-the-river, both large and small. Natural Resources Canada calculates the current installed small hydro capacity is 3,400 MW, with an estimated potential of 15,000 MW. A report on the future of hydroelectricity, suggests the remaining 40﹪ potential will remain undeveloped up to 2050, citing a lack of public acceptance. The widespread usage of hydroelectricity, including being incorporated into electric utility names such as Toronto Hydro or BC Hydro, has led to "hydro" being used in some parts of Canada to refer to electricity in general, regardless of source. As of 2019, Canada had 81 GW of installed hydroelectric capacity, producing about 400 TWh of electricity. (en) Le secteur de l'hydroélectricité au Canada se classe en 2021 au 2e rang mondial des producteurs d'hydroélectricité avec 8,9 % de la production mondiale, derrière la Chine et devant le Brésil, et au 4e rang mondial pour sa puissance installée (6,0 % du total mondial) derrière la Chine, le Brésil et les États-Unis. L'hydroélectricité a fourni 60 % de la production d'électricité du pays en 2020. Le Canada exporte aussi de l'hydroélectricité vers les États-Unis : 9 % de la production canadienne en 2020 et 1,3 % de la consommation d'électricité des États-Unis. La construction des premières centrales hydroélectriques du Canada a commencé en 1902 sur le site des chutes du Niagara. La grande époque du développement de l'hydroélectricité a été celle des années 1960-1980 avec le lancement des grands projets : projet Manic-Outardes et projet de la Baie James au Québec, Rivière de la Paix et Columbia en Colombie-Britannique, fleuve Nelson au Manitoba, Churchill Falls au Labrador. En 2014, l'hydroélectricité est surtout développée au Québec (38 400 MW) et en Colombie-Britannique (13 800 MW), et à un moindre degré en Ontario (8 500 MW), à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador (6 800 MW) et au Manitoba (5 000 MW). Les deux tiers du potentiel technique restent à exploiter, et des milliers de mégawatts de projets sont en cours de construction ou en développement. Grâce au coût de production très bas des grands barrages, la plupart des villes canadiennes bénéficient de prix d'électricité très inférieurs à ceux des États-Unis et de l'Europe. (fr)
