That is, electrifying natural gas projects, particularly in the Peace region—where demand for electricity is currently growing faster than anywhere else in the province.

That’s how much additional capacity Duke expects to need in the next 15 years to make up for the retirement of its coal-fired power plant fleet and aging natural-gas plants. But in the high-wind and no-new-natural-gas scenarios, those costs increase to between $7.5 billion and nearly $9 billion.

In the US, 25% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from electricity generation. This is not surprising, with coal and natural gas representing about 60% of electrical supply. As more eco-invested consumers choose green power, it increases the demand for renewable energy sources. Have you read?
