cheap natural gas power Genesee 4 and 5 plantsEDMONTON Capital Power will show off plans this week for its proposed Genesee 4 and 5 natural gas fired electricity generating facilities to be built southwest of Edmonton.An open house Thursday at the Genesee community hall is an opportunity for area residents and other interested parties to ask questions about the twin combined cycle facilities, which will have a total generation capacity of up to 1,050 megawatts of power.The joint Capital Power/Enmax project is expected to come into service between 2017 and 2020, coinciding Ray McDonald Jersey with the expected retirements of several coal fired power plants in 2019.It also fits with a growing trend. TransAlta Corp. and MidAmerican Energy Holdings are proposing to build Sundance 7, an 800 MW natural gas fired plant at Wabamun. ATCO is proposing a 400 MW gas fired power plant in the Industrial Heartland northeast of Edmonton. Capital Power and Enmax are building the 800 MW Shepard Energy Centre in Calgary.The trend is fuelled by rising electricity demand, low natural gas prices and federal regulations that will see most coal fired plants retired by 2030 unless they add carbon capture technology to reduce emissions. It’s expected that by 2032, only 12 per cent of Alberta’s power will come from coal, down from 46 per cent in 2011. Natural gas and to a lesser extent, wind power, are taking up the slack."A lot of the new generation facilities that companies are looking at are natural gas fired," said Mike Deising, communications director for the Alberta Electric System Operator. "We see that becoming a larger piece of the pie in the fleet going forward."The AESO predicts annual growth in electricity demand of about 2.5 per Phil Dawson Womens Jersey cent through 2032, due primarily to oilsands development and production, and the overall strong provincial economy."If you look across the country, Alberta really stands out as the one province that is seeing this kind of significant and persistent growth," Deising said. "So as you see the economy firing on all cylinders, and the population growth, the www.official49ersnflproshop.com/Nike-Ray-Mcdonald-Jersey.html natural result of that is going to be an increase in electricity demand."Bryan DeNeve, Capital Power’s senior vice president, corporate development and commercial, said the trend toward lower natural gas prices, primarily due to the increase in shale gas exploration in the United States, is making gas more attractive as a fuel source. Capital Power forecasts natural gas prices at $4 $5 per gigajoule in the long term, down from the $7 $8 range of Phil Dawson Kids Jersey six years ago."What that’s done is it has dramatically reduced the cost of electricity from gas fired generation relative to coal fired generation," DeNeve said. "That’s a fundamental shift that you’re seeing across North America."Paul Dews, Capital Power’s project lead on Genesee 4 and 5, said regulatory approvals aren’t expected until late 2014 or early 2015.A request for proposals has gone out for the high efficiency gas turbines, steam turbines and generators that will form the "power islands" of the facilities."We’re going through that process at the moment with the intent of choosing the most efficient and best available technology in the market for when we move forward with this project," Dews said.Both units will have the ability to run independently, he added. They will be built next to the Genesee Unit 1, 2 and 3 coal fired generating facilities. at the Genesee community hall, broncosnflofficialproshop.com/Nike-Demaryius-Thomas-Jersey.html Township Road 510 and Highway 770.
