Genesee Station Overview
Located west of Edmonton near Warburg, AB, the Genesee Generating Station consists of 3 power generation units which provide over 1,300 MW of baseload generation. Genesee 1 & 2 are undergoing a repowering transformation to move off-coal.
The 525 MW Genesee 3 unit is 100% natural gas fueled. It has clean air technologies that include fabric filters that stop 99.8% of particulate matter from reaching the atmosphere and a flue gas desulphurization unit that brings sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions well below the provincial emission standard.
“
Genesee Generating Station consists of some of Alberta’s youngest and most efficient thermal generation units. This reliable facility supports the Alberta energy market with baseload power supply and contributes to the economic well-being of the community it operates in. Repowering to best-in-class natural gas units will reduce emissions by 3.4 million tonnes per year and continue to deliver responsible energy for our future.
