Alberta grid alerts

Hard to make up a persons mind if this is done on purpose or a completely dumb ass f up . How do you run low on ng in Alberta ?

Nothing in the last while, or in the future is a coincidence. Nothing. In my opinion.

Need to save power for the eclipse, that space laser needs a lot of power…

I don't know about the grid, but the air is sure cleaner since April 1st.

if only we had some form of resource in abundance on hand we could create energy with.........

I got a good idea. I just drove through Genesee. Maybe we should fire that mine up again lol

they still mine. you can still see the ol' giant shovels going to work. they just ship it all to the states to burn and buy the power back at an up charge. and if I'm not mistaken genes actually does still generate some of its power from coal.

Not sure on that. I heard it’s natural gas run only now. Either way ch!t ton of energy sitting right there in our backyard.

Hmm a coal furnace might be a good option if they want to turn off the gas. lol

Montana's enjoying the coal from there

Didn't somewhere have one of those a few years ago? Low pressure due to extreme cold!!!weird it was OK in the -45 we had a few months ago.

No it wasn’t, we were curtailed on natural gas usage during that cold snap

Still two gennesee coal plants going, solid consistent power

All this power instability is to do with poor performance of wind power and its inefficiencies in transmission to main lines and carbon tax making natural gas facilities near impossible to turn a profit .

Ya I’ll take advice from a farmer about the power grid I actually am part of and have worked with daily for nearly 20 years

The carbon tax is stupid but has no relevance to what caused the shortage. Keephills #2 went down unexpectedly yesterday morning.

we had to power shed at work yesterday, AESO called in and asked for us to put our EG on line and power shed Maskwa field. Part of the agreement we have with AESO.

What percentage did you scale down?

Please explain power shed?

Don’t fret.
The nuke plant they are imposing for up here will be built without anyone knowing.

reduce our load on the grid. Cut power that powers our pads.
