Mikisew Peace Point Power Plant Solar Addition
The construction of 55 kilowatt (kW) solar generation to be added to the existing diesel-fired power plant. The generation from the solar panels has the potential to generate 58,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually, to supplement the operation of the existing power plant engines. Potential project benefits include:
- reduction of diesel consumption,
- reduction of noise, emissions and smell produced by the plant
- increase efficiency of the plant
- achieve cost savings by reducing operating and fuel costs of the plant.
See attached site drawing.
Expected lifespan of the new solar infrastructure is approximately 20+ years.
- ATCO is also requesting a fire break of 25 m to ensure fire safe distance for critical infrastructure
