Here are some notable insights from the Q4 2025 MSA report🔎

⚡On December 11, 2025, Alberta set a new record demand for electricity at 12,785 MW. This is 401 MW higher than the prior record. Demand in December was high due to increased oilsands production and cold weather. The prior records were also surpassed 35 times, even during mild weather conditions.

💲The average pool price in 2025 was $43.68/MWh, 30% less than in 2024 and the lowest annual pool price since 2017. January 2025 saw the lowest monthly average at $30.36/MWh. The lower pool prices were largely driven by increased gas generation from Cascade and Suncor’s Base Plant, along with greater wind and solar generation.

🏭In 2025, the average carbon emissions intensity was 0.39 tCO2e/MWh, a decline of 5% compared to 2024 and 52% lower than in 2015. The reduction was largely due to coal generation being retired or converted to natural gas, plus the increase in renewable generation

According to analysis by the Business Renewables Centre-Canada, Alberta municipalities collected almost $70.7 million in revenue from renewable energy projects in 2025. This is 30% more than the $54 million collected in 2024.

All projects that generated revenue for municipalities were started, approved, and constructed before the Alberta government moratorium on new renewable energy projects, which began in August 2023 and ended in February 2024.

Analysis of the AESO’s project queue shows potential for further revenue. BRC-Canada states 21 more municipalities could receive more than $76 million from projects currently in development.
