RE:RE:president reportCascade is a bright spot, not only for Peyto but also for its peers especially if more similar projects follow. I am a big fan of CCGTs and their high efficiency and relatively low cost achieved by improved technology and strong competition between GE, Siemens and Mitsubishi.
The CEO is mentioning the ability to follow the load but this flexibility is often abused in jurisdictions where the growth of renewables is given a priority. Not using a CCGT at optimum capacity cannibalizes its efficiency and frequent starts and restarts is releasing more CO2.
