The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) declared another grid alert due to the extreme cold, and several power facility outages.
The alert was declared this morning at 8a.m.
Here are some following ways we can help:
-Turn off unnecessary lights and electrical appliances
-Minimize the use of space heaters
-Delay the use of major power-consuming appliances such as washers, dryers and dishwashers
-Delay charging electric vehicles and/or plugging in block heaters
-Cook with your microwave, crockpot or toaster oven instead of the stove
-Limit the use of kitchen or bathroom ventilation fans
Grid Alerts are issued when the Alberta power system is under stress. This triggers the AESO to prepare to use emergency measures to meet demand and maintain system reliability.
