The Energy Futures series explores how possible energy futures might unfold for Canadians over the long term. Canada’s Energy Future 2020: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050 (EF2020) is our latest long-term energy outlook. It is the first outlook in the series to provide projections to 2050. It covers all energy commodities, and all provinces and territories. We use economic and energy models to develop this outlook. We also make assumptions about technology, energy and climate policies, energy markets, human behaviour and the economy.
