Subscribe to a Daily Email Summary of Prince Edward Island Electricity Load and Generation

I created this to scratch my own itch, but others might find it useful to: you can now subscribe to a daily email summary of Prince Edward Island electricity load and generation.

If you subscribe, every morning just after midnight you’ll receive a summary of the previous day’s data that looks like this:

The “Peak Load” is the maximum amount of electricity required to power PEI on that day, in megawatts, and the time that peak was reached.

For each of the generation types—wind, solar, fossil, imported—I list the peak generation reached that day, and the percentage of the load that generation was meeting at the time of the peak.

Under the chart there’s a note about what percentage that day’s peak load was of the highest peak load ever.

This newsletter is an experiment; don’t build systems or practices that rely on it, as the experiment might not work or be maintained for the long term.

Oh, and if you’d prefer an RSS feed for the same summary, here it is.
