I'm in Calgary visiting family right now. We had a blackout in the SW that lasted about 30 minutes.

If you're bored and want a small heads up of if there's a chance of a rolling balckout, check out :

They can't blackout your power unless they're paying $999/MW, so when prices are low, your safe. If the projected price for next hour shoots up, and they show EEA3 in the events, you may be black soon.

I am a little out of the loop as i am not working right now but part of the problems were this last winter was keep hills had one of the old generators shut down earlier than expected and the replacement was not on line yet. not sure if this is still the case.
