On behalf of Albertans, we work with industry partners and the government to make sure reliable power is there when you need it.

We hit a new summer peak record yesterday of 12,219 MW. The previous summer record was 12,122 MW set on July 10, 2024. You can play a role in reducing strain on the grid during this heat wave by minimizing energy consumption from 5-9:30 p.m. https://t.co/lzRxJb13DK

We have a great resource of solar generation in Alberta, but when the sun sets so does that supply. In summer the heat stays longer and so does demand. Conserving power between 5-9:30 pm helps - a little from each household helps a lot! More tips here: https://t.co/dIrymzKmgF

We shared an update on the Restructured Energy Market (REM) today and will be holding an Information Session for stakeholders on July 18, 2024.

The heat wave in #yeg continues to lead to increased power consumption and can place stress on our electrical system. You can help by reducing you power use: turn off unnecessary lights and delay laundry and starting the dishwasher. Get more tips: https://t.co/NGtY718N2q #yegwx

It’s hot! At these temps demand for electricity goes up – yesterday to a record peak of 12,122 MW. Conserving power at this time of year between 5-9:30 p.m. helps keep our grid strong for all Albertans. Stay cool! #ABElectricity More tips here: https://t.co/dIrymzKmgF

With the continued heatwave, please conserve electricity this evening and this week where and when you can! #ABElectricity

We hit a new all-time summer peak record July 9, 2024 of 11,820 megawatts! The previous summer record was 11,721 MW set on June 29, 2021. The grid is in good shape, but energy conservation always helps. https://t.co/TDfWaQOgJp

A #heatwave means higher electricity use. With last night’s grid alert, help conserve power by:
Limiting use of major appliances (dishwashers, washers, dryers)
Reducing A/C use: Use a fan to circulate cooled air, close windows and blinds
