One needs only to look no further than the AESO website to see the abject failure that wind generation is in this province.
It is incapable of providing base load, it can't supplement changing grid conditions like assets like hydro can, but alas hydro generation is at best khaki generation, and in Alberta there's is no way we have the water nor the where for all to have sufficient capacity through this sort of resource stream to make hydro anything but peeking and ancillary capable. Wind can't be relied upon to provide voltage or frequency support either. Wind is nothing more than a bad idea foisted upon us through manipulative marketing and spin doctoring.
I also fail to see how solar can provide any grid support or ancillary services to the grid in the winter months with our shorter daylight periods.
Nobodies given zero thought to how the blackstart scenarios will unfold with the moving away from carbon based generation either. This is the real troublesome aspect for those who get what grid operations, and electrical generation is truly all about.
The whole anti carbon mentality is nothing more than wealth redistribution wrapped up in fancy cliches and social engineering!
