CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — Alberta’s electric grid operator has warned that the Trudeau government’s 2035 net-zero power grid goal will mean instability for the western province.
During a press conference last week, Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), the organization responsible for operating Alberta’s power grid, condemned the federal government’s net-zero emissions goal by 2035 as “not feasible.”
“Our analysis shows that the way the CER [Clean Electricity Regulations] is currently written is going to create supply adequacy and reliability challenges for Alberta’s power system from 2035 and beyond,” AESO chief executive officer Michael Law told reporters.
AESO analyzed Ottawa’s CER draft for a net-zero power grid across the country by 2035, which is 15 years earlier than Alberta has stated is possible for the province.
According to AESO’s research, Alberta is not capable to produce the energy supply needed to ensure the reliability of the system by 2035.
“This energy shortfall increases over time, increasing reliability and safety risks for Alberta’s power system and all Albertans,” Law added.
Additionally, according to AESO, Alberta’s current goal of 2050 would cause minimal additional emissions reductions compared to the
