Our Business:
AltaGas' power segment includes conventional power generation in Alberta and renewable power generation in British Columbia.
Conventional Power
The conventional power business comprises 392 MW of total power generation capacity in Alberta.
AltaGas owns 50 percent of the Sundance B power purchase arrangements, giving it the rights to power output and ancillary services from the 353 MW of coal-fired base-load generation until December 31, 2020.
AltaGas also has 39 MW of gas-fired power peaking capacity in southern Alberta. Due to their quick ramp-up capability, the peaking plants also provide revenue from the sale of energy and ancillary services.
Renewable Power
Our existing power portfolio is being supplemented with clean sources of power, such as wind, run-of-river hydroelectric, geothermal and gas-fired generation. We pursue projects that meet certain requirements: natural resources with access to transmission infrastructure and for construction, and in jurisdictions with favourable regulatory and market conditions.
AltaGas' renewable power generation includes the 102-MW Bear Mountain Wind Park near Dawson Creek, BC and a 25 percent interest in a 7-MW run-of-river hydroelectric generation facility in southern BC.
AltaGas has approximately 1,900 MW of renewable power under development - 1,500 MW of wind power developments and 400 MW of run-of-river hydroelectric developments.
