The AESO worked with the Government of Alberta to issue an Emergency Alert to Albertans, asking them to immediately reduce their electricity use to essential needs only.

Key Points:

The AESO worked with the Government of Alberta to issue an Emergency Alert to Albertans, asking them to immediately reduce their electricity use to essential needs only.
Almost immediately after the alert was issued, the AESO saw a significant 100 MW drop in electricity demand, which amounted to a 200 MW reduction within minutes.
The Grid Alert was declared ended at 8:40 p.m.
“The province-wide response to the call for energy conservation was tremendous,” says Mike Law, President and CEO of the AESO.
With extremely cold temperatures forecast through tomorrow, the AESO requests that Albertans continue to conserve energy during the peak demand period from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

SEATTLE, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- North American P25* power purchase agreement (PPA) offer prices continued the trend of stabilization in the third quarter of 2023, according to a new report from LevelTen Energy, operator of the world's largest PPA marketplace. P25 solar PPA prices nationally rose 4% over Q2 and 21% year over year. LevelTen's P25 wind index decreased 1% since Q1 but remained 16% higher year over year. Blended P25 prices rose 2% in Q3 and 18% year over year.

Key Points:

After a slight Q2 dip, North American P25 solar PPA prices rose by 4% in Q3 2023.
Wind P25 PPA prices in North America remained relatively stable, with a 1% decrease in Q3, driven by a decline in SPP prices.
This quarter's slight decrease marks a contrast to Q2 prices, which rose 13% amid low supply across ISOs.
All PPA price data in LevelTen's report are based on the prices that developers are offering for PPA contracts, not transacted PPA prices.

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 3rd, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a surprising Bloomberg interview of Sept. 29, 2023, at the Berlin Global Dialogue forum, Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager and decarbonization advocate, said "Hydrocarbons are going to be with us for a long, long time and that's why we are working with energy companies, not against energy companies. That is why we said, 'do not ever divest of hydrocarbons'," bringing much-needed energy reality to the global conversation, says Friends of Science Society.

Key Points:

That is why we said, 'do not ever divest of hydrocarbons'," bringing much-needed energy reality to the global conversation, says Friends of Science Society.
Friends of Science says this message should hit home with the Canadian Senators for Climate who are trying to introduce a Climate Finance bill to choke off investment for fossil fuels .
This fear was confirmed by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), at a press conference on Sept. 28, 2023.
Dr. Clark will be one of Friends of Science Society's guest speakers at their upcoming Oct. 17, 2023 event in Calgary - "Break Free from Climate Tyranny: Evidence Over Ideology."
