Canada’s Energy Future 2026 is the latest long-term energy outlook from the Canada Energy Regulator. The dataset contains scenario-based projections for all energy commodities across all Canadian provinces and territories, exploring future uncertainties in the energy system through 2050. It includes four scenarios: Current Measures, Higher, Lower, and an updated Canada Net-zero scenario.
Use Cases
- Modeling national energy transition pathways based on the Canada Net-zero scenario.
- Analyzing the sensitivity of energy supply and demand to GDP growth and LNG export levels as described in the Higher and Lower scenarios.
- Forecasting provincial and territorial energy commodity trends using the all-region coverage mentioned.
- Comparing baseline energy futures against alternative economic and price driver scenarios.
Strengths
- Projections cover all Canadian provinces and territories.
- Includes four distinct scenarios to explore uncertainty, including a net-zero by 2050 pathway.
- Based on decades of economic and energy modeling from the Canada Energy Regulator.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
