In Ontario, electricity is produced from a number of sources. The Electricity Supply Mix, for an electricity product, is the combination of power sources used to generate the product.

The following chart shows the combination of electricity sources used to generate the electricity consumed in Ontario in 2020.

2020 Supply Mix

Electricity Source	Ontario's Electricity Mix

*Includes Lennox & dual fuel (natural gas/bioenergy) consistent with IESO.

** IESO's embedded generation data set combines biomass and gas.

*** Non-Contracted represents a variety of fuel types that the IESO is unable to categorize due to a lack of information from Local Distribution Companies (LDCs).

Note: Figures may not add to 100% due to rounding.
