Probably the most popular pages on our website are the ones showing the amount of electricity being consumed at any given time on our Mayo-Dawson transmission system and our Whitehorse-Aishihik-Faro grid. We added these charts last year as a way of showing you the demand on our system and how we meet that demand (whether that be solely with hydro, or with a combination of hydro and diesel). Our hope is that if you see we are having to use diesel to meet the demand, you will try to keep your discretionary energy use to a minimum.
We have received tremendous feedback about the usefulness of the charts. However you asked us to add additional information that shows electricity usage over the longer term. I am happy to tell you those extra charts are now on our website. There are now four charts for each transmission grid: one for current consumption, one that covers a 24 hour period, one that covers a week, and one that covers a year. Take a look and let us know what you think. All the charts can be found from this page.
