Energy demand in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta together accounted for almost 73% of Canada's total energy demand in 2008. Demand for energy decreased slightly in each of these provinces from 2007. In all three provinces, decreases in the manufacturing and transportation sectors accounted for the overall decline in demand.
Energy consumption increased slightly in Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba and Saskatchewan from 2007 to 2008. Combined, these provinces accounted for just over 10% of Canada's total energy demand in 2008.
The higher crude oil prices of recent years have been driving a boom in both Newfoundland and Labrador and Saskatchewan. These two provinces are now the top crude producers in Canada after Alberta, accounting for around one-third of total production.
