RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:The Cascade Power playI love this analogy. Combined with carbon capture technology and storage it is the kind of thinking that can make Alberta an environmentally friendly North American energy supplier for decades.

All figures CAD
Looks like AESO pool price varies during each day:
Approx. $40.00 / MW to over $700.00 / MW
https://ets.aeso.ca/ So using TE's approximation factor, AESO Pool divided by 20 :
Monthly AESO averages were in excess of $100 MWH for most of 2022 thus far.
$100.00 / 20 = $5.00
$5.00 x 60,000 GJ x 365 days = $109,500,000.00 per year
Surely I am missing something important on the back of my envelope.
Regardless of actuals, transporting energy in the form of electrons seems like the smart way to bypass NGTL. Lets hope this works out better than the hedge book :-)
