ENMAX Energy Generation
ENMAX Energy’s electricity is supplied through a combination of long-term contracts, namely power purchase agreements (PPAs), ownership of generation facilities and through purchases from the Alberta electricity market. Natural gas is supplied by purchases in Alberta's natural gas market. Current operating facilities include the Crossfield Energy Centre, Calgary Energy Centre and the Downtown District Energy Centre. ENMAX Energy’s owned generation also includes 100 per cent ownership of the 80 MW Taber wind farm and 63 MW Kettles Hill wind farm, and a 50 per cent interest in the 75 MW McBride Lake wind farm, all located in southern Alberta. The company continues to receive significant supply from their power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the Keephills and Battle River coal-fired facilities.
ENMAX Energy continues to apply fresh approaches to producing energy by locating natural gas-fired power generation facilities close to where electricity is required. The company is in the initial building phase of the Shepard Energy Centre, an 800 megawatt (MW) combined-cycle facility, and has received regulatory approval for the Bonnybrook Energy Centre, a 165 MW cogeneration facility.

Famous quotes containing the words energy and/or generation:
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
“... if women once learn to be something themselves, that the only way to teach is to be fine and shining examples, we will have in one generation the most remarkable and glorious children.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
