Three highly efficient natural gas turbines that power up from standstill to full load in 10 minutes, giving Capital Power flexibility to respond to sudden changes in supply and demand

  • The higher efficiency of the General Electric LMS 100s help Capital Power offer competitive peaking capacity, and capture greater margins from peak power prices
  • Clover Bar’s peaking units provide Capital Power with additional flexibility to optimize its Alberta power portfolio
  • Power generated is sold on the open Alberta electricity market
  • The facility uses approximately 85% less water per megawatt hour (MWh) than the former Clover Bar facility
  • Combined, the new turbines produce about 70% less nitrogen oxides per MWh of electricity generated at full capacity, compared to the former facility
