Synopsis

The first step for a TransCanada Electric grid would be a Western Canada grid. A through analysis of benefits is required including reserve generation reduction in each province as older plant retire and load begins to grow with the transfer to electricity as the main energy, introduction of an Energy Imbalance Market to allow for an increase in penetration of wind, solar and energy storage generation, then a Western Canada grid with a benefit to cost ratio greater than 1 can be achieved.

With profitability guaranteed, an investor owned Western Canada Grid will be possible, without a drain on the ratepayer and the taxpayer.
