Thank you very much for the question and thank you for making the link.
Yes, the figure of 7% or 8% is accurate for the amount of the contribution of wind and variable renewables, but it's predominately wind. For the electricity generation in Canada today, the overwhelming majority of that is very much hydro.
Every expectation is that wind energy will increase substantially over the coming years. It's an increasingly mature and competitive technology and one that, especially as you deploy wind over a larger and larger area, you can take advantage of that widespread area so that, when the wind is blowing in one place but not in another, it smooths things out at the system level a little bit better.
Notwithstanding that the expectation is that it will make a much larger contribution going forward, there are limits to how much wind or solar you can deploy and still maintain system reliability. There is a baseload role to electricity generation that wind can't fill at this point with the technology that we have. At some point, if we have better ways of storing energy over the long term—and our hydro dams play a very important role in that regard—this is something where you would be able to store energy and smooth out fluctuations over the course of the day, over the course of the week, over the course of the months or even seasons. Once that happens, I think we can expect wind and solar use to go up even more.
At present, though, we don't have the technology available for wind or solar to play that role of baseload energy to the degree that we would need to maintain system reliability and, for that reason, non-emitting sources such as nuclear, large hydro, natural gas and carbon capture and storage will be part of the mix. For that reason, it's natural to focus on each of those in different ways, and I would refer to my earlier remark that you have four provinces that have indicated that this is a priority for them. That is their jurisdiction, and we're pleased to be able to support that priority of theirs.
