US EditionOntario electricity produced with rising percentage of greenhouse-gas-emitting power
- Ontario's electricity grid produced 16 percent of power from natural gas in 2024, the highest since coal-fired generation ended in 2012.
- This rise follows ongoing refurbishments of nuclear units and past decisions including cancellation of 750 renewable contracts after the 2018 Progressive Conservative win.
- Nuclear generated 51 percent and hydropower about 24 percent of electricity in 2024, while increased gas provided system flexibility amid refurbishment outages.
- Energy Minister Stephen Lecce highlighted that Ontario's electricity grid approaches an exceptionally high level of cleanliness unmatched by other developed nations, but he also expressed concern that the grid’s emissions have increased by 12 percent in recent years.
- Experts warn the higher gas share was preventable with sooner renewable expansions, while the grid is expected to become greener and below 99 percent non-emitting by 2050.
