Monthly Electricity Statistics for Quebec

Question

I have received a request from a student looking for hydroelectricity generation and usage data in Quebec. They are specifically looking for the amount hydroelectricity generated from the La Grande watershed/reservoir system from the mid 1970s to present. Is Statistics Canada able to provide data at that geographic level by custom tabulation or otherwise? I have been able to find Quebec wide data in from the Monthly Electricity Supply and Disposition Survey in CANSIM Table 127-0001 and CANSIM Table 127-0002.

They also want monthly energy consumption statistics by cities located in Quebec with a specific interest in Montreal and the amount of electricity Quebec sells to New York. If this data is not available from Statistics Canada, I would be open to any suggestions from the DLI community.

Answer

“Unfortunately, I am unable to provide data at the level of detail that the student is looking for. My surveys only offer aggregate statistics at the provincial and national levels.”

Maybe this could help:

I guess that international exportation from Québec should be to USA...

Industry Price Indexes For Chemical Products

Question

I have a patron looking for CMA level data for Ontario for the Industry price indexes for chemical products. Table 329-0049 in E-Stat only provides regions.

Also, they would like electricity consumption and prices by CMA or city in Ontario for 2001-2006. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer

Industry price indexes for chemical products are unfortunately not available at the CMA level. Regions are the most detailed level of geography for which the data are available. In addition to the table you have already located (CANSIM table 329-0049), your client may be interested in tables 329-0048 and 329-0039 which offers less geographic details but more commodity detail.

Provincial and regional level data for electric power selling price indexes (non-residential) are available in 329-0050. These are not available at the CMA or city level.

If your client is interested in consumer price indexes (CPI) for electricity, they are available for Ontario in CPI related products such as 326-0021 and 326-0020. The CPI for an aggregate of "water, fuel and electricity" is also available for Ontario and the following urban centres (Ottawa-Gatineau, Ontario part, Toronto, Thunder Bay) in these tables.

Electricity use and demand data are not available at the CMA or city level in our energy-related products. The most detailed level of geography for which use and demand is available are provinces and regions (ex.128-0010, 128-0003, 57-003-XWE).
