The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) issued a grid alert for power consumption on Friday.
The alert was issued at 4:16 p.m.
“The AESO issues a grid alert when the power system is under stress and we’re preparing to use emergency reserves to meet demand and maintain system reliability,” AESO wrote in an online statement.
Apparently AESO reported last evening that every wind turbine in Alberta shut itself down due to extreme cold – this is the alternative energy source we are supposed to count on? Wind and solar farms are a pathetic joke.
