When all other viable options are vilified, and regulated out of existence, and the only proposed solution is worse than useless, we end up back where we started, burning coal. Congratulations Chuck.
Alberta currently has just over 1200 MW of coal generating capacity left on its system. The Genesee units 1, 2 and 3 at Warburg will be converted to natural gas before the calendar turns to 2023.
At that point, Canada’s fourth-largest province will be fully transitioned from coal-fired electricity. It represents quite a shift, as coal represented more than half of Alberta’s fuel mix just eight years ago.
So how did this happen? Industry experts and elected leaders attribute it to aggressive policies from both the federal and provincial government, as well as shifting market dynamics, like lower natural gas prices and competitive solar and wind.
