Alberta power generation from wind and solar (30 day moving average).

Mostly wind of course. The green line at the bottom that tops out at ~ 5MW is Alberta's only grid scale solar installation. (BSC1 - 15MW).
Here's a comparison of capacity factors for Alberta's 3 largest windfarms (Blackspring Ridge, Whitla, and Halkirk) and the Brooks solar farm. Again 30 day moving average. On a seasonal basis, solar compliments wind fairly well in Alberta.
Average hourly capacity factors for Alberta's 3 largest windfarms (Blackspring Ridge, Whitla, and Halkirk) and the Brooks solar farm. Mid-day solar peak also seams to compliment wind well.
