Alberta grid tracker

What the Alberta power system is doing now

Demand, generation mix and carbon intensity from Alberta Electric System Operator, with the freshness of every field stated beside it. Fields in one snapshot do not share a freshness, and this page does not pretend otherwise.

This is not a cost product. It reports operating conditions. What power actually costs a large load is a different question with different evidence and lives in the Canadian large-load cost monitor.

Conditions now

Every field carries its own state. Four of them are never live for any market and say so where they are shown.

Current Alberta grid conditions, each field with its freshness state, observation time and any note.

Market context

How this market works

Alberta is an energy-only market: there is no capacity payment, and the energy price is expected to carry the full cost of new generation. That makes the pool price more volatile than in capacity markets and makes a single-hour reading a poor guide to a delivered cost.

The feed

AESO current supply and demand, polled every 2 minutes. When it fails, this page says so and shows nothing rather than a stale reading.
