Canadian Natural Gas Transmission Volumes, Monthly from 2016

Statistics Canada provides monthly data on natural gas transmission across Canada and its provinces from January 2016 onward. The dataset includes volumes of gas received from fields and plants, imports, exports, deliveries to industrial consumers, and pipeline fuel, measured in gigajoules and cubic metres. It is published by Statistics Canada and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling national and provincial natural gas supply and demand based on reported receipts and deliveries.
• Analyzing trends in cross-border natural gas trade based on import and export volumes.
• Forecasting pipeline fuel consumption and infrastructure needs based on reported fuel use data.
• Tracking monthly industrial energy consumption patterns based on delivery data to industrial consumers.

Strengths

• Data is updated monthly, providing a regular time series from January 2016.
• Coverage includes both national and provincial-level breakdowns for geographic analysis.
• Quantities are reported in two complementary units: gigajoules (energy) and cubic metres (volume).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
