Has Solar and Wind generation reduced electricity costs in Alberta?

[Hamloc]

Here’s mine hamloc
2685 kWh =$347
Numb nut tax=$17
Meter charge =$40
Numb nut GST tax=20
Total $422
About 50 % more than normal as fans were running to freeze canola that we weren’t smart enough to sell
Almost the same as yours for power used

Forgot to put Kilowatts, 3013.
Also need to clarify that I am on a 5 year fixed rate plan. I signed up 1 year ago. I just looked today, same retailer, same 5 year plan is 11.59 cents a kilowatt. On the Regulated Rate, which is more up to date with market conditions is just over 20 cents a kilowatt.

You’re Alberta aren’t you ? There sure is a lot of extra charges on there ?
My bill works out to $.1586/kWh with all the liberal tax grabs ? What’s total on yours?

And, as Chuck keeps reminding us, in Alberta, we also have a lot more cheap wind and solar. But I'm sure that there is no connection between those low cost generation sources, and all of the additional costs...

Before the $50 affordability rebate from the Alberta government it is $.1624/kwh, after it is $.1458/kwh.
In the summer the cost per kwh is higher because my consumption go down to about 7-800 kwh per month but the transmission and distribution charges don’t go down much in relation to consumption. No doubt in my opinion it is a bullsh#t system. The only positive part is that it is far more transparent for analysis of the efficiency of different generation systems. No other province has the equivalent of the AESO supply and demand page which monitors and reports up to the minute electrical usage and generation province wide..

Global energy perspective

[AlbertaFarmer5]

In other sunnier drier locations around the world the actual generation will be higher.

Solar should most definitely have higher generation and therefore be far more profitable and viable in sunnier dryer locations of the world. Such as, for example, the northern territory of Australia.
Where the 35 billion solar farm has already declared bankruptcy.

If Sask had gone to primarily renewable energy as the climate cult wants, yesterday you would have been dead.

[chuckChuck]

What about production on the other 364 days? Everybody dead too?

Did anybody say we could use only renewables anytime soon?

Get a brain before you freeze in the dark and die! LOL

It's been Cloudy and Foggy for 10 days in a row dipshit.
Get out of your basement and look outside.

Yes, you and Greta and Clown Gore. How are those ice caps looking. I thought my kids would never see snow again. Statue of Liberty under water yet.

Full on clown show, but dont worry, we are putting you whacko marxists back in the box where you came from.
