Illinois, Washington, Minnesota, New Hampshire and New York are the top five states for Canadian energy exports.

Canada is the largest supplier of oil, natural gas, uranium and electricity to the United States.

Canada ranks third in the world for hydroelectricity generation. This renewable resource makes up 63.2% of Canadas total electricity generation.

Canadian oil production is forecast to increase from 2.8 million barrels per day in 2010 to 4.7 million barrels per day by 2025. By 2025, about 80% of Canadian oil production could come from the oil sands.

Canada is the third-largest producer of natural gas in the world. Since 1973, Canada has supplied 92% of U.S. natural gas imports. Canada also has significant unconventional natural gas resources in five provinces.

As of April 2011, Canadas installed wind energy capacity is 4,588 megawatts enough to power over one million homes.

The Canadian renewable fuels industry has invested $2.3 billion towards the construction of new production facilities across the country, generating almost 540 million gallons per year of domestic production capacity.

Canada is recognized as a global leader in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. By 2020, the hydrogen and fuel cell sector is expected to create 14,500 jobs and achieve revenues of $1.2 billion.

Canada has abundant solar energy resources, with the largest resources being found in southern Ontario, Qubec and the prairies.

Canadas geothermal energy potential is estimated at over 5,000 megawatts in shallow geothermal resources. Upwards of 10,000 megawatts or more may be available in deep geothermal resources which require enhanced geothermal systems, a technology currently under development.

Canada has the worlds largest known high-grade natural uranium deposits.

In 2010, 17 of Canadas 22 CANDU nuclear reactors were in service, producing 14.8% of Canadas electricity.

Canadian liquids pipelines transport more than 2.7 million barrels of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids per day. About one million barrels are transported to Canadian markets and 1.7 million barrels are exported to international markets, chiefly the United States.

Canadian natural gas pipelines transport more than 15.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. About 6.2 billion cubic feet are transported to Canadian markets and 8.9 billion cubic feet are exported to the United States. Canadas oil and gas pipeline systems include gathering systems, largediameter trunk lines and distribution systems totaling more than 435,000 miles of pipe.

Saskatchewan is one of the worlds leading uranium producers, accounting for approximately 18% of global production. In 2010, the value of Canadas uranium exports to the United States amounted to $387 million. Saskatchewan is Canadas second largest oil producer and the fifth largest oil producer among all American states and Canadian provinces.

Manitoba is a Canadian leader in geothermal heat pump installations. On a per-capita basis, Manitoba installs geothermal at roughly three times the Canadian average. Almost all of the electricity consumed in Manitoba comes from hydroelectricity.

QC
Ninety-eight per cent of the electricity produced in Qubec is from renewable sources, primarily hydroelectricity. Qubecs wind energy potential is considerable. Between now and 2015, Hydro-Qubec, a Qubec crown corporation, will develop some of this potential by calling for bids for the production of 4,000 megawatts of wind energy, including 500 megawatts reserved for projects promoted by local or Native communities.

NATURAL GAS
Canada is the third-largest producer and exporter of natural gas in the world. In 2010, Canada supplied the U.S. with 3,255 billion cubic feet, or 87% of its natural gas imports, and imported 734 billion cubic feet. The proposed 1,220 kilometre Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline has received regulatory approval from the National Energy Board and there are a number of plans to develop LNG export terminals on Canadas west coast.

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
The value of Canadian petroleum product exports to the United States amounted to $13.5 billion in 2010, and consisted primarily of gasoline shipped from the Atlantic provinces. Canada imported $4.6 billion worth of petroleum products from the United States in 2010, 33% of which entered through Qubec and 31% through the western provinces.

OIL
Canada has the third-largest proven crude oil reserves in the world at 174 billion barrels (97% of which are oil sands reserves). Canada is currently the worlds sixth-largest oil producer and is projected to become the fourth-largest oil producer in the world by 2015 with oil sands expansion.

ELECTRICITY
Canada and the U.S. share an integrated electricity grid and supply almost all of each others electricity imports. Canada is a net exporter of electricity and a major supplier of electricity (overwhelmingly clean hydroelectricity) to New England, New York, the Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest and California.
