Penguin Empire Reports

During the polar Vortex, Alberat’s grid demand skyrocket, hitting 10,000, 11,000, and more than 12,000MWs of demand. To supply that demand, Alberta’s gas plants have run hard, and the province had to rely on imports.
Of course, at night, Alberta’s 1650 MWs of solar were completely useless.
And wind output failed too. On the night of Jan 12-13, during the record-breaking cold temperatures, wind output stood at only 14MWs at 2115hrs. That wasn’t the lowest either. Early in the evening, wind output stood at 8-10MWs. But 8MWs would barely show up on the chart. So, we’re going with output at 2115hrs.
No, that’s not an exaggeration. Basically, Alberta’s wind was missing when the grid needed it most.

WOW! We know that the capacity factor for the RUINABLES is low BUTT this level of output takes the cake and at a time when most needed - every bit helps! What is the damn point of investing in this CRAP!

Based on the capacity factor for wind and solar - those who put us down this path of madness should be hanged, drawn and quartered, IMO!
