Open-cycle power generation

  
 

ATCO Power uses open-cycle gas turbine power generation to help maintain the integrity of the Alberta power grid.  These power plants are essential to the security of power supply to northern and remote communities.

Benefits:

They can be brought on-line when generation or transmission system problems threaten supply
They can be started and brought to full load within minutes, making them ideal to meet peak load demands.
