The AESO (Alberta Electric System Operator) runs Alberta's energy-only electricity market, a gas- and wind-heavy grid with fast-growing solar and storage. GridVigil tracks Alberta Internal Load, today's demand forecast, generation by AESO's dispatch groups, and the interties with British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Montana, all from AESO's own public reports. Alberta is a single province, so Canada as a whole is not colored on GridVigil's map.
As of Aug 24, 2026, real grid metrics for Alberta are shown below. GridVigil's Power Pressure Score is not yet calculated for this region.
