Cascade Power Station is a proposed 900-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant in the province of Alberta, Canada.[1] It is also known as the Cascade Power Project and the Cascade Power Combined Cycle Power Facility.[2]
Location
The map below shows the location of the proposed power station approximately 12 kilometres southwest of Edson, Yellowhead County, the province of Alberta, Canada.
Background
Cascade Power began planning the Cascade Power Project in January 2018[2] and had an open house for the local public in August 2018[3]. Later that year, Cascade Power submitted regulatory approval documents.[4]
In August 2019, Cascade Power said approvals for the project were moving slower than anticipated due to concerns by people with First Nations and the Alberta Utilities Commission.[5] Alberta Utilities Commission approved the project in November 2019,[1] and Cascade Power said they were still expecting to break ground early in 2020.[6]
