Better technology, lower costs, mean B.C. will benefit from its late entrance to the wind power game By Scott Simpson, Vancouver Sun April 3, 2013 ...That puts the cost of wind at or below the cost of run of river power ....“With (natural) gas prices where they are today, yes, it’s challenging today for wind to compete with gas,” Hornung said. “Having said that, when you are building electricity generation infrastructure you are not building it just for today. You are building it for a minimum of 20 years and quite probably longer than that. “Of course the one thing you have some certainty of when you are building with wind is that you know what that cost is going to be for the entire period – and you don’t know that with gas. “Wind at worst will have stable prices but it’s likely to continue declining in cost as technological evolution continues to proceed. .......He cited one further advantage wind power has over run of river — it’s at its annual productive peak in winter when many streams are at a seasonal ebb. Run of river power is most robust during spring run-off, which is when Hydro has the least need of additional electricity supply....Last spring, for example, Hydro was forced to shut down some of its own generation assets while paying higher than market prices for run of river power....
