Oh, Jesus, this is from January.
Yeah, we got issued an emergency alert to drop unnecessary power usage in Edmonton and there was a cool graph that epcor I believe posted later showing how edmontons power usage dropped a shit tonne as people got the alert.
I think only a couple specific areas had brown outs, we definitely didn't get them in my area.
No, this is from Friday. The bit mentioning the January brownouts was making a comparison to those of yesterday.
Odd, I'm in Edmonton and never got the emergency broadcast all day and night yesterday.
Never heard anything about brown outs, maybe my specific area didn't get included in the rollouts?
Alberta still primarily uses gas for heating so unlike our southern friends, brown outs impact us a lot less.
I was in one of the areas that was hit by the rotating brown outs.
Sure would have been nice to get an EAS alert warning to reduce consumption first. There weren't any.
