In July 2026, CFR Chemicals was acquired by PERIN Resources, LLC. CFR supplies commodity and specialty chemicals to the energy, industrial manufacturing, and resources industries in Western Canada. In addition, it provides blending, rental, and storage services, along with distribution and transloading capabilities, to support customer needs. The CFR name and brands are unaffected by this transaction.
PERIN Resources, LLC was founded in 2003 and is a leading petrochemical marketing and logistics company headquartered in Houston, Texas, that has established itself as a commercial problem solver in petrochemicals by filling gaps between major producers and markets. PERIN specializes in solvents, glycols, olefins, and LPG products, but has global reach in procurement in many other spaces.
Mark Brueggeman, PERIN’s CEO, “PERIN has been looking for a partner in Western Canada and could not be more excited at acquiring a very talented team of people to help our mutual growth plans. CFR’s people are key to everything we are hoping to accomplish with the support of our global supply partners, and we are looking forward to taking CFR to new heights. With PERIN’s supply and CFR’s people we see this as a perfect match for all.”

For consumers wanting to generate their own green power, installing a small wind turbine may be an option. Small wind turbines are electric generators that use the energy of the wind to produce clean, emissions-free power for individual homes, farms, and small businesses.
It must be remembered, though, that wind power is intermittent and variable, so a wind turbine produces power at or above its annual average rate only 40% of the time. That is, most of the time.

A wind turbine may be “available” for 90% or more of the time, but its output depends only on the wind. Without the wind, it is like a bicycle that nobody rides: available, but not spinning.

Wind power has a very low “capacity credit,” its ability to replace other sources of power.
For example, in the U.K., which boasts of being the windiest country in Europe, the Royal Academy of Engineering projects that 25,000 MW of wind power will reduce the need for conventional power capacity by 4,000 MW, a 16% capacity credit.
What is wind power’s capacity credit?
Two studies in Germany projected that 48,000 MW of wind power will allow reducing conventional capacity by only 2,000 MW, a 4% capacity credit (as described in “Wind Report 2005,” Eon Netz).
Similarly, the Irish Grid calculated that 3,500 MW of wind power could replace 496 MW of conventional power, a 14% capacity credit. See some of these and other documents here at National Wind Watch.

According to Eon Netz, one of the four grid managers in Germany, with 7,050 MW of wind power capacity installed in its area at the end of 2004, the amount of back-up required was over 80%.

Which was the maximum output observed from all of their wind power facilities together.

That is, for every 10 MW of wind power added to the system in this case, at least 8 MW of back-up power must also be dedicated.

Doesn’t a unit of electricity produced by wind turbines reduce a unit from
another source?
If there is hydropower on the system, that is the most likely source to be reduced, because it can be switched on and off the most readily. Some natural gas plants can also switch on and off quickly (though at a cost of efficiency, i.e., burning more fuel). Otherwise, the output from fuel-burning plants is ramped down or it is switched from generation to standby. In either case, it still burns fuel.
