Again, to show that some of us are not just here to bash renewables, some good news.
I've still been watching the AESO supply and demand report occasionally. It got really windy today at home, so I checked, and wind power has been consistently around 1500 out of 1781 potential MW production. 3 wind farms appear to be offline showing zeros, while the rest are at or near full capacity. Quite impressive, and consistent.
Over the past few weeks, wind seems to spend most days around 1000 to 1200 MW's, with regular and often precipitous drops down into the 100 to 300 range.
One good thing to come out of this is a new appreciation for living where we do. I can't stand wind, and it seems I live in the right place, when it is dead calm here, the Halkirk wind farm always seems to be putting out, and many others are way up. Only had a few brief windy hours here this winter, probably at a low risk for installing any turbines nearby.
