Here we go again

Thanks for doing the math.
But your 8.5% is much too high. As documented in the earlier thread, in January, the week long capacity factor got as low as 0.6%. How many townships does that require? No point in having adequate supply in February if we all forze to death earlier in the winter.
Then add in heating demand, then add in fossil fuel demand in the transport sector which is promising to go electric. See if we have enough province left to grow food.

That is for brooks... And honest to god, i dont know what the issue is there...

Pull up SUF1 on dispatcho.app... 8.5% is what it has managed in the month of january. we'll see whether it can maintain its "efficiency".

But, if Brooks can go that low for that period of time, then there is no reason the other solar farms can't go that long without sun. Need to budget for worst case scenario when our livelihoods and even lives are on the line.

AB5 one thing that is very consistent about wind power in Alberta, when you need it most it is not there! -36 here this morning and there is 3 megawatts of electricity being produced out of a potential 1781. On day 2 of next to no production.
