Battle River Generating Station is a natural gas-fired power station owned by Heartland Generation, located near Forestburg, Alberta, Canada. Formerly a coal-fired power station, the generating station transitioned off coal in 2021.[1] Coal is provided by the Forestburg Collieries operated by West Moreland Coal, while natural gas is supplied by the Pembina Keephills Transmission pipeline.[2][3]
Description
[edit | edit source]Units 1 and 2 were 32 MW coal-fired generating units that operated from 1954 until their retirement in 2000.[4] Unit 3 supplied by Combustion Engineering and was commissioned late 1968 to early 1969 retired on December 31, 2019.[5] Unit 3 was a 149 MW coal-fired unit that operated until its retirement on 31 December 2019. Unit 4 is a 155 MW unit that operates using 50% coal and 50% natural gas. Unit 5 is a 385 MW gas fired steam unit. Unit 4 is a candidate for future conversion to 100% natural gas.[6][3]
The plant also features two large smokestacks, 161 m (528 ft) and 137 m (450 ft) in height.
