Diesel generation now 1%

Summerside has 13.5 megawatts of diesel generation including this 33 year-old 4.2 megawatt generator that provide back-up capacity on demand. Ten years ago these generators were running 24/7, which is very expensive. Today they provide about 1% of Summerside’s electricity on an annual basis. Photo David Dodge, GreenEnergyFutures.ca
