 Alberta's new, competitive power industry is attracting developers and investors who see opportunities for new power generation in the dynamic and diversified Alberta economy. New Power Generation in Alberta is designed to give developers an overview of the process of gaining approval for new projects of expansion of existing generation.

In the past six years, independent generators have built more that 3000 megawatts of capacity in Alberta. The province will continue to welcome new projects and developers to meet its growing needs in the futures.

New Power Generation in Alberta outlines:

  • How Alberta's deregulated generation industry opens up opportunities.
  • The roles and relationships of the agencies involved in approving projects
  • Approval processes, including where to get necessary approvals, information that may be required, and how to expedite the process.
This document is an entry point for developers. It does not provide an exhaustive listing of all requirements and actions that may need to be considered. Requirements, approvals, documentation and other matters can vary according to the specifics of each project.

Additional information about Alberta's electric industry is available elsewhere on the Department of Energy website, (www.energy.gov.ab.ca).
