Electric Power Thermal Generating Station Fuel Consumption

Question

We have a student looking for data from the following survey: <http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3Instr.pl?Function=assembleInstr&LI=202712&lang=en&Item_Id=202712>.

He located a few tables in CANSIM, but they don’t provide what he needs. Do we have access to this data?

Answer

The data that is available is through CANSIM. We do not have any other tables from the Annual Survey of Electric Power Thermal Generating Station Fuel Consumption. If the student would like more precise data, I would need to inquire if a custom tab is possible. Note that confidentiality analysis includes the detection of possible direct disclosure, which occurs when the value in a tabulation cell is composed of a few respondents or when the cell is dominated by a few companies.
