Moraine Power Generation Project

Moraine Initiatives Ltd. is proposing the construction, operation, and decommissioning of a new natural gas-fired power plant, located near Whitecourt, Alberta. As proposed, the Moraine Power Generation Project would generate about 465 megawatts of electricity for the provincial grid. It would also include carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology, with captured CO2 being transferred by a pipeline to an off-site carbon storage hub. Other project components would include a natural gas pipeline and a high-voltage electrical transmission line. The project is expected to operate for about 40 years.
