Abstract
This map shows the 630 generating stations operated by utilities, with the stations being classed by their capacity (in kilowatts). They have an enormous size range: many are under 10 000 kilowatts, whereas a small number exceed 1 000 000 kilowatts in size. Since utilities serve Canadian population and industry, this map generally indicates the distribution of Canadians. It shows that in the north, there are many communities but they all appear to be small as the generating stations are almost always under 10 000 kilowatts. On the other hand, most stations (and almost all of the larger stations) are found in a long, narrow band close to Canada's southern border.
