Wind Power 2.0

So, there's close to 1GW of additional wind generation due to come online in Ontario by the end of the year.

Lovely. We don't know what to do with the wind generation we currently have, and more is being built.

Oh, did you know the new wind power contracts give the system operator the ability to dispatch (turn off) wind generation if it isn't needed? However, the wind generators will still get paid for this wind power they could have produced. They just won't produce it. But they'll get paid anyway.

Aren't you, the rate payer, delighted? You now have the privilege of paying wind producers not to produce power.

Thank you, Liberal Party of Ontario!
