This is a list of electrical generating stations in Alberta, Canada.

In 2023 Alberta produced 74% of its electricity through natural gas. Alberta has a deregulated electricity market which allows a large number of private companies to participate in electricity production, particularly in the cases of cogeneration and renewable energy. Alberta's electricity mix is changing towards lower carbon intensity. As of 2013, Alberta's electricity was 52% coal, 38% natural gas and 10% renewable. Ten years later in 2023, this had changed to 74% gas, 8% coal, and 18% renewable. As of June 18, 2024, Capital Power announced that the last coal capable generator was now 100% natural gas-fueled and coal was no longer a source of electricity in Alberta. Alberta has a legislated goal of achieving 30% renewable electricity by 2030.
