what energy does ontario use
Ontario is Canadaâs leader in clean wind energy with nearly 4,050 MW of installed capacity, supplying over five per cent of the provinceâs electricity demand. In 2012 â for the first time ever â more electricity was generated in Ontario using wind than coal.
Nuclear energy is part of Ontarioâs balanced plan to make sure we have safe, clean, reliable and affordable electricity for years to come. Nuclear reactors, which produce heat by splitting uranium atoms, do the same job as typical power sources. They produce heat to change water into steam.
