Office Facilities
Edmonton Head Office
In the fall of 2011, Capital Power’s corporate offices moved to a brand new building located at 10423 - 101 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta. Capital Power occupies floors 9 through 12.
The new building offers a superior combination of environmental features, and high-quality and in-building amenities. It will be certified to a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Silver standard or higher, reducing energy, water, and resource use.
Technology
Our Edmonton office is outfitted with new VOIP telephones and printers.
Right to light
The office design is based on the concept of “right to light.” This is an accepted industry standard that states all employees in a common workspace should have access to as much natural daylight as possible. This is intended to increase personal comfort and improve productivity.
The building also offers access to outdoor balconies, seating areas, kitchen amenities on each floor, and upgraded coffee machines, including cappuccino machines.
