Alberta NDP says renewable energy windfall should benefit consumers, industry

"The contracts were signed between 2015 and 2017. Companies were then willing to bid between $30 and $43 a megawatt-hour, far lower than expected and a reflection of how cheap renewables have become to install.

Market prices for power have since more than quadrupled."

You're still squirming because the study from the U of C lays waste to your central argument that renewables are the primary reason why electricity prices are going up in Alberta!

Wrong again! A5. The primary reason is the deregulated market and markup! Give up!

Solar and wind are helping to reduce wholesale electricity prices even if they are intermittent.

So the wind and solar investors don't expect any ROI? How can it cost 28 times more per unit of energy produced, and result in the cheapest energy? You seem to be avoiding confronting this contradiction which you brought to our attention.

There definitely appears to be a comprehension problem.
