List of natural gas-fired power stations in Canada

This is a list of all natural gas-fired power stations in Canada. There are 39 power stations in operation as of February 2020.

Lennox Generating Station, the largest natural gas-fired power station in Canada.
Main article: Natural gas in Canada

Ontario has the highest number with 12 power stations scattered across the province, followed by Saskatchewan with 10 power stations and Alberta with 9 power stations. The number of natural gas-fired power stations in Alberta is expected to overtake that of all other provinces as coal-fired power stations in the province are converted to running off natural gas.
