The plant also sells electric energy into the Power Pool of Alberta.

The cogeneration plant was jointly constructed and is currently owned by ATCO Power, NOVA Chemicals and Capital Power. ATCO Power leads the operation of the facility and, along with Capital Power, markets surplus power from the facility.
