    What is the actual cost, looks like the cost is being kept a secret.

      Ask Sask Power because they have their actual numbers.

      Lazards LCOE comparisons are available in their annual reports.

        Crown utility should be making all data public?

            Sask power has the numbers but a few days old, real time right now on power generation would be the most honest direction, I don’t remember if it was windy or sunny 4 days ago.

              In Alberta where for better or worse our generation sources are privately owned and we have the Alberta Electric Systems Operator. The AESO has on its site the Supply and demand page which gives up to the minute electrical production from every commercial generation source in Alberta(doesn’t report roof top solar production) and total provincial demand. I would be very interested if any other province in Canada has such information available. And if not, why?

                So Sask Power and other utilities don't and can't do a Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) calculation over the lifetime of their generation assets?

                Face the facts from Sask Power!

                  I hope wind power will dry out the ground under this lodged crop.

                  For the rest of my energy needs, I will gladly depend on fossil fuels - and be happy that we were endowed with the bounty of dependable, compact, available energy at our beckoning call.

                      Huh?

                      It's Sask Power who is saying that large utility scale solar and wind generation is a lot cheaper than other power sources!
