Canada energy costs

Real, sourced data on typical bills and seasonal cost patterns — compiled August 2026.

Residential electricity bill at 1,000 kWh/month, by province

Source: Canada Energy Regulator, Market Snapshot: how much do your neighbours across Canada pay for electricity? (March 2026)

Monthly cost pattern (illustrative)

NB Power, a real utility, states heating can make up 70–80% of a winter electricity bill versus about half in milder months. Exact seasonal swings vary significantly by province and heating fuel — no single national percentage is officially published.

Bars show a relative index (100 = year-round average month) illustrating the pattern described above — no regulator publishes an exact month-by-month bill, so treat this as a shape, not a precise figure.
