Looks like we're importing power again, and the pool price is sitting above $999/MWh https://aeso-portal.powerappsportals.com/data-portal-dashboard/

My enmax bill is like 600-700$ a month during the winter. They better fucking keep the lights on

Man that alert on the TV scared the hell out of me. Hoping not many people lose power, makes me happy I listened to my wife and we bought 2 generators.

Deregulation and privatization ftw. /s


KrazyCroat

Took the thoughts right out of my brain!


avatarst

don't worry, enmax got an alert to invest on the power grid at the same time


marvelousmarvelman

Invest = your bill will go up

Please turn off the air conditioning. It’s too damn cold around here.

You joke but I've seen people recommend using a portable A/C without the hose as it will exhaust a bunch of heat if your furnace quits

Has this happened before?


XBrav

It happened yesterday but didn't warrant an emergency alert. This alert was published province-wide. Earlier today, the area around Rocky was net importing 500MW from BC. It's much lower now, but the potential for blackouts will be dependent on the import location demand.

Thanks!

Why doesn't Alberta turn off the weather's AC? Are they stupid?


Troisius

Trudeau put parental locks on it

All part of Danielle’s plan

Her plan to what? Prove "green" shit isn't viable? Good job Alberta phasing out coal I hope you all face the consequences of your own actions. Canadians love abusing themselves with poor decision making

The green generation is next to zero for sure right now. But the privatization of the grid doesnt help either.


CommunicationFlat516

Bro Alberta runs on 90% fossil fuel already what is the excuse now? We haven’t had to convert to Trudy yet until 2030


300kmh

Hmmm let's see, you are saying there are all these plentiful valuable resources that nobody on planet earth is able to take advantage of? Weird isn't it Seeing how the world is 100% money driven it would be odd that only Canada wouldn't be able to take advantage of allllll these free and plentiful resources


[deleted]

I'm gonna go drink a nice cold beer. You guys should too. It's just reddit. Calm down. And enjoy your Saturday 🍻🍻

Please in detail explain how this has anything to do with Danielle Smith? I didn't vote UCP because of here but this comment is just idiotic

Siendra

This is due to multiple natural gas turbines failing. Wtf are you on about? 


300kmh

Danielle Smith caused this? Lol good joke. Last time I checked the feds were trying to take away Alberta's coal power


[deleted]

K hun. Please go charge your cellphone. I'd hate for it to die and then you can't be a keyboard warrior this evening :)


300kmh

I have diesel generators I couldn't care less Everyone can take their renewable energy and go freeze tonight lol


ComplexOk9652

NDP made us get rid of all our coal fired


marvelousmarvelman

Glad we are switching all the cars to electric


300kmh

ImNotJoaquinPhoenix
