RECORD-BREAKING POWER CONSUMPTION
According to Alberta's power grid operator, Monday and Tuesday saw record summertime highs for power consumption in the province.
Tuesday's power use in the province led the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) declare an energy emergency alert. 
The 11,721 MW used in Alberta on Tuesday was eight MW shy of the all-time record which was set in the wintertime.
