1,"For monthly data prior to January 2008, please see CANSIM table 127-0001 (terminated). For current monthly data on electric power generation, see also CANSIM table 127-0003."
4,"Electric power generated from a plant in which the turbine generators are driven by flowing water. Prior to January 2008, hydro included wind and tidal generation. From January 2008 on, wind and tidal generation are reported separately."
5,A power plant in which the prime mover is a steam turbine. The steam used to drive the turbine is produced in a boiler where fossil fuels or other combustible materials are burned.
6,Electricity generated at an electric power plant whose turbines are driven by steam generated in a reactor by heat from the fission of nuclear fuel.
7,A power plant in which the prime mover is an internal combustion turbine. Electric power is generated by the rapid burning of a fuel-air mixture into mechanical energy.
8,A power plant in which the prime mover is a combustion turbine. Electric power is generated by the burning of a fuel into mechanical energy.
9,Electric power generated from a plant in which the turbine generators are driven by rushing water.
10,A power plant in which the prime mover is a wind turbine. Electric power is generated by the conversion of wind power into mechanical energy.
11,Electricity created by using Photovoltaic (PV) technology by converting solar energy into solar electricity from sunlight.
