Nuclear energy in Canada - statistics & facts
Canada is one of the global leaders in the nuclear energy sector. The North American country ranked among the largest producers of nuclear energy in the world and derived approximately 14 percent of its domestic electricity from nuclear sources in 2023. Canada’s nuclear energy production is concentrated in the south of the country. Its operational nuclear energy facilities – Bruce, Pickering, and Darlington power plants - were almost exclusively located in the provinces of Ontario, except for the nuclear reactor in Point Lepreau, in the nearby province of New Brunswick.
