Sorry, my error. However, much of our energy is shared with the US... we may be able to make the most, but little stays within our country. We currently use alternate means... usually through such sources as oil and coal.

Canada is the world’s largest producer of hydroelectricity, generating over 315.5 Bkwh from the source in 2002. Quebec’s La Grange plant is one of the world’s largest hydroelectric facilities, with an installed capacity of 15,000 MW. Quebec has the largest share of Canada’s hydroelectric production, followed by British Columbia. It is estimated that Canada still has 180,000 MW of hydroelectricity potential remaining, though only 34,000 MW is currently deemed economically feasible.

In fact, very little of what I use today is from this source of energy... very little at all, considering my location. However, if I remember correctly, the community of Niagra* is fueled mostly from a hydro electric dam, and, if I remember correctly (yes, I have said that a lot... there seems to be no links at all) are the only community currently gaining power from that source (primary).

Otherwise, this is all in Canada, and not worldwide, except that we are the world's largest creator's of it...

* We do, however, send a lot of energy as far south as Buffalo... but very little goes Northward or Westward for Canada.
