RefreshThis website shows the current total electricity load on Prince Edward Island compared to the current total local wind energy generation, local solar generation, local fossil fuel generation, and energy imported from New Brunswick via submarine cable. All are measured in megawatts (MW).
The gray arrows above each column indicate whether the current value is higher or lower than the previous report.
The gray lines above each column are the peak values today, with the number and peak time displayed above.
The original data is updated every 15 minutes and comes from Maritime Electric by way of the Province of PEI website.
The peak electricity load in recent years has been higher than 390 MW and generally occurs during the heart of the winter heating season in January or February.
To learn more about electricity load and generation on PEI, consult Prince Edward Island’s Energy Resources, which provides a helpful overview. The 2012 report of the PEI Energy Commission provides more historical background.
The chart is drawn with jCanvas and the site uses the jQuery Mobile framework.
