  • Located at the Edmonton Waste Management Centre in Edmonton, Alberta
  • All output from the facility purchased by City of Edmonton
  • Produces enough energy to power approximately 4,600 homes
  • Powered by methane gas produced by decomposing organic material. Methane is 21 times more powerful a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and transforming it into electricity allows it to be used as resource rather than polluting the atmosphere.
  • The facility is one of Capital Power’s carbon offset projects
