Canada
31 May, 2006
The very geography of Canada has led to the Canadian energy industry’s expertise in the generation and transmission of electricity, in particular hydroelectric power. The paradox of Canada’s vast geography is that it poses an energy supply problem to the 32 million people scattered over 10Mkm2, while at the same time offering a solution to the energy demands of its inhabitants. One of the least densely populated countries in the world, with a rigorous climate and large distances between population centres, Canada has been graced with water, whether falling or running or still water, and thus water-based power ready to meet Canada’s relatively high per capita energy use.

Argentina

Argentina is located in Southern South America, bordering the South Atlantic Ocean, between Chile and Uruguay, with total land area of 2,766,890km2. Total population of Argentina is 39,537,943 (July 2005 est.) (CIA Facts). Total electricity production was 84,539 GWh for the year 2002; consisting of coal 1173GWh, oil 1529GWh, biomass 1261GWh, gas 98,792GWh, nuclear 5821GWh, hydro 35,888GWh, solar 47GWh, and others 73GWh (IEA Energy Statistics, 2002).
