Things get busy around Jan 10. Notable here is the price in January averages 3-cents per kWh, which is one-10th the record peak in summer 2023. A market well-supplied with firm gas plus very* low cost renewables seems to be benefitting consumers. #abpower #medhat

Almost certainly a record low this afternoon for fossil fuel power in the #ABPower grid. Low demand, but also 4.1GW of wind + solar.

At this moment 57.5% of Alberta's electricity is being produced by fossil fuels. Wind is at 61.4% of capacity and producing 30.3% of total generation, while solar is at 51.3% of capacity and producing 7.9% of total generation. At the same time, we are exporting 532 MW, which is 4.9% of the total generation of 10819 MW.

The AB govt has issued its "Rate of Last Resort" regulations. These amend how the default rate for electricity consumers in Alberta that don't opt for a competitive (fixed or floating) rate is set. Let's take a look at the details... 🧵 #ableg #abpower

At $3/MWh, yesterday was the 2nd lower daily average price in the history of Alberta’s power pool. The past month has seen the lowest, 2nd lowest and 4th lowest daily prices in 25 years. #abpower

Ok #medhat, the full construction estimate is $600M, though that seems very high by industry standard of $1-$1.5M per MW, But I have no idea what the purchase price would be for an approved project. Any thoughts or estimates from the #abpower community would be appreciated. dM me

In a breaking, yet completely unsurprising move, City of #medhat has applied to acquire the 325-MW Saamis Solar Park approved for NW Medhat from Irish developer DP Energy. Here’s my story from this summer re: the AUC approval of the C$600M project.

Since everyone’s commenting on the #ABPoli pause on renewable approvals one-year ago, here’s a repost of my story last Sept. on the growing problem of strained powerline capacity. #medhat #ABPower

Power lines in SE Alberta are increasingly strained when wind/solar projects put on a glut of low cost, green power, with a lot more on the way soon. #medhat Region's power lines face strain https://t.co/fBlaDBEIQv

TransAlta also has an early stage wind proposal near Red Rock Coulee that may or may not require a vis assessment. Company told me lat month there were evaluated their entire project queue. #medhat #abpower

Power giant scraps wind project due to Alberta's no-go zones for renewable power. Add to Capital Power scrapping carbon capture on their Genessee natgas plant, and this is a grim week for a low-carbon electricity future in Alberta. https://t.co/kByt1wGmhP

Last fall #medhat council set a maximum and minimum price for power in response to record high prices (and a lot of complaints). From April-June the outlook prices power below the 7-cent per kWh floor. An amazing descent for power prices in the province. #abpower
