I don’t like to get all hyperbolic, throwing around the word “game-changer” too often… but holy crap! Solar in Canada for 4.8 cents (3.6 US)?!? This *is* a Game Changer. #ableg #absolar

To put this in perspective, I offer the following tweets…
1/ Last year I did some analysis for CanSIA on the relative value of wind and solar in Alberta. An issue with AB’s REP is that it does a great job of procuring lowest *cost* resources, but doesn’t distinguish differences in *value*

2/ Why do wind & solar have different values? In short, because they produce power at different times. Wind tends to blow in the evening and tends not to correlate well with peak demand (see this week). Solar also struggles in winter but its daily pattern better matches demand.
