Electricity, Natural gas, Nuclear, Ontario, Wind generation

Correction

Once in a blue moon, even I get my figures wrong. Last week I put up a poll which stated wind power developers in Ontario are paid 42 cents per kilowatt-hour. This was of course incorrect: the proposed standard offer feed-in tariff for wind generation in Ontario is 11 cents per kWh, not 42 cents. The 42 cents is for solar, not wind. I regret my error.

Table A1: Total Ontario generation and related CO₂, by fuel, in the hour preceding 12:05 on 2023-09-24
FUEL	MWh	CO₂, tons
Nuclear	4,934	0
Hydro	0	0
Gas	0	0
Wind	0	0
Biofuel	0	0
Oil & Gas	0	0
Solar	0	0
TOTAL	4,934	0
CO₂ intensity per kWh (CIPK) in the last hour: 0.00 grams.

**Table A3** Should we replace nuclear plants with natural gas-fired ones? This table compares actual Ontario grid CO₂ emissions from the last hour with those from a grid in which gas has replaced nuclear.
Actual Ontario grid	Gas replaces nuclear
0	2,714
0.00	550.00
Tons CO₂ CIPK, grams If gas had replaced nuclear last hour, Ontario power plants would have dumped enough CO₂ to fill Rogers Centre 0.9 times. As it was, 0 tons were dumped, which would fill Rogers Centre 0.0 times.
