Public Comments Invited: Genesee Generating Station Expansion Project

Initiative: 
Genesee Generating Station Expansion Project
Deadline: 
23 Dec 2013

From the CEAA website:

…the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency must decide whether a federal environmental assessment is required for the proposed Genesee Generating Station Expansion Project, located in Alberta. To assist in making its decision, the Agency is seeking comments from the public on the project and its potential effects on the environment.

Capital Power Generation Service Inc. is proposing to expand its existing Genesee Generating Station by constructing and operating two natural gas-fired power plants located approximately 17 kilometres north of Warburg in Leduc County, Alberta. The power plants, expected to operate for about 35 years, would have a combined generating capacity of up to 1,050 megawatts.

Written comments must be submitted by December 23, 2013 to:
