Ass t #1 , GNED 1101 Instructor: GNED 1101 Energy Production, Radiation Exposure, and Environmental Science Analysis 1. Energy and Power (8 pts) a. (4 pts) The Kananaskis dam generates 93,500 MW - hr of electricity per year. Its capacity is 19 MW. What percentage of the total capacity was actually generated? How many average Alberta households would this supply? (Remember: the average Albertan household uses 600 kw - hr of electricity per month).
