Genesee Generating Station

 


  • Baseload units that regularly run at or near full production capacity
  • Excellent operating histories, as measured by high availability
  • The generation capacity is subject to a Power Purchase Agreement with the Alberta Balancing Pool, in effect until December 31, 2020
  • The long-term, contracted cash flows, together with low fuel-supply risks, contributes to the overall financial stability of Capital Power’s portfolio of assets
  • Costs associated with compliance with changes in environmental regulation are passed through to the PPA holder under a change of law provision 

Mining and Reclamation

  • Coal is supplied by the adjacent Genesee Mine, which is a 50/50 joint venture between Capital Power and Sherritt Coal
  • A comprehensive mining and land reclamation plan designed to return mined land back into agricultural production
  • Other land use initiatives include land leasing, cattle grazing and environmental monitoring
