A Strong Partnership
Since 1999, Canada has been the largest supplier of both crude and refined oil products to the U.S. Inter-connected Canada-U.S. power grids also ensure an efficient, shared electricity system and both countries benefit from load-sharing and integration. The Centre for Energy, in partnership with the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade have created this map to illustrate the Canada-U.S. energy-specific trade relationship including petroleum products, electricity and energy services. It’s a strong partnership.
Canada
Canada is the largest supplier of oil, natural gas, uranium and electricity to the United States. This map includes provincial facts and statistics about Canada’s energy industry. It also includes information about our resources, energy capacity, technology advances and future projects that will help ensure a healthy, sustainable energy future.
The diversity of Canada’s energy system is clearly illustrated including information about a solar system in Iqaluit, uranium mines in Saskatchewan, oil in Alberta, earth energy in Manitoba, a wind-hydrogen village in PEI and new in-stream tidal technology development in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia.
United States
Free trade and open markets as well as a stable policy and regulatory framework, encourage energy investments and strengthen North America energy security.
The U.S. map illustrates the economic benefits, energy industry activities and relationships that each state has developed with Canada. The map includes information on a wide range of energy sources, from geothermal power in Hawaii, no-emission vehicle technology in California, nuclear power in Virginia, ethanol production in Nebraska, oil refining in Minnesota, coal mining in Kentucky to wind power development in North Carolina.
