Reliable AB Energy

It appears X has changed how API posting credits work again and my automated semi-hourly Alberta grid update posts have stopped due to depleted API credits. The account itself is fine, but the automation system now requires separate paid API credits beyond a Premium subscription. I’m looking into options and whether the account may qualify as a public utility/informational service, but for now the automated updates will be interrupted. Depending on how this evolves, I may shift more of the updates toward Facebook, Bluesky or Blogger instead. I’ll continue posting manually when possible. Thanks to everyone that follows and shares the data.
