Thank you, honourable member.
No, we were just as surprised as everyone else. As you know, we have a pretty large renewable book, and it was a surprise.
For those who aren't aware, in August the Government of Alberta put a six-month pause or moratorium on approvals until February 29, 2024.
Alberta has about 24,000 megawatts of projects of renewables in the backlog, which is about double the total demand. We want to build a part of that. That's equal to about 20 Site C hydro dams and about four Bruce nuclear plants. There's a fair bit there where they need to be certain about integration. In the Yukon, where we have a high integration of renewables, this last summer we were struggling with a couple of power outages caused by frequency disturbance. Renewables are great, but it's the way you integrate them that's important, as Mr. Leach was saying, so that you ensure the reliability of the grid.
