The Shepard Energy Centre is an 860 MW combined-cycle power plant located on the east side of Calgary, Alberta. It is powered by two gas turbine generators, with two HRSGs capturing the waste heat from the exhaust-gases and producing steam for a single steam turbine generator.
ENMAX claims the Shepard Energy Centre emits less than half of the carbon dioxide per MW of traditional coal power-plants.
History The project was announced by Enmax in 2007. Construction began in October 2011. The plant was announced fully operational in March 2015.
Cost The plant reportedly cost billion (equivalent to $billion in ). In December 2012, Capital Power Corporation of Edmonton agreed to pay ENMAX $860million (equivalent to $billion in ) for a 50% ownership share.
