Crude Oil Supply - Electricity Requirements








Electricity costs are expensive due to the remoteness of the oil sands. Most companies have developed their own cogeneration plants to supply electricity to their projects.

Due to the relatively weak demand for electricity by population of Alberta, oil sand development companies are unable to develop substantial amounts of surplus, because there is no where to put it on the grid.
