Unlocking alberta hydro potential
Unlocking alberta hydro potentialDont envy quebec .just Follow their footsteps to reduce your ecological footprint.we dont mind showing you the way calgary if you need any help.we have a beautiful country and world .dont spoil it. Just kidding.
Yes, new hydroelectric projects have long construction periods, significant upfront capital costs, location challenges and some hydrologic risk, but they also have no fuel cost, low operating costs, and very long and reliable service lives. Hydroelectric facilities can generate electricity for a hundred years or longer, and hydro is readily dispatchable, making it an excellent renewable baseload power source. It is also useful in levelling surges or imbalances in electricity supply and demand, and very valuable in supporting/firming variable sources of renewable energy such as wind and solar. As a result, in our view developing new hydroelectricity needs to receive serious consideration in Alberta given the goal of phasing out coal-fired generation and generating 30 per cent of all electricity in Alberta from renewable sources by 2030. alberta can learn from quebec
