Much of Canada experienced extreme cold temperatures and winter storms, leading to high demand for electricity and warnings of rotating outages.

On the Prairies, high demand for electricity due to the extreme cold prompted the Alberta Electric Systems Operator to issue grid alerts Friday and Saturday, and Utilities Minister Nathan Neudorf warned there was a high risk of rotating outages Saturday night.
