Description: The use of renewable energy sources by Canadian households reflects national priorities and international commitments to sustainability. Using data from the 2021 Households and the Environment Survey, this study examines the socioeconomic and dwelling-related characteristics of households that use renewable energy with respect to how adoption is distributed across the population and which groups are likely to adopt alternative energy, offering context for understanding Canada’s progress toward these goals.
