Monthly Canadian electricity-mix transition intelligence from Statistics Canada table 25-10-0015-01 (electric power generation by type): megawatt-hours for Canada and the 13 provinces and territories across 10 generation types (hydro, nuclear, wind, solar, tidal, biomass, fossil/non-renewable combustible, the combustible total, other, and the headline total), with clean, fossil, hydro, wind+solar, nuclear, biomass and other shares of generation; share momentum in percentage points YoY; a 12-month smoothed clean share; and a documented 0-100 transition score with per-month provincial ranks, plus hydro-drought, fossil-rebound and record-clean-share flags. Consistent methodology window 2020-01 onward (the fossil/biomass split starts then). Units are megawatt-hours, kept verbatim; missing-by-design types (e.g. nuclear outside Ontario/New Brunswick, tidal outside five coastal provinces) are zero, never interpolated. Caveats: the latest months are preliminary and may be revised; data are published about 2 months in arrears; genuinely negative published values (net station-service use) are kept verbatim.
