Transcript of Shepard Energy Centre. Environmental Stewardship.
Overview
Nominal 800 MW Natural Gas Combined CycleEarly 2011 Received Regulatory Approval (Alberta Utilities Commission and Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development) Cost: Approximately 1.35 BillionJoint Venture with Capital PowerCurrently under construction COD: Early 2015
Environmental Attributes - Low Air Emissions
GHG – Less that 0.4 tonnes/MWh (less than half of the emissions from Coal)SOx – Virtually noneNOx – Shepard will only emit between 3 ppm and 6 ppmPM – virtually noneMercury – No mercury emissionsWe did extensive air dispersion modeling and Shepard has minimal impact on air quality in the region.
Environmental Attributes - Water Consumption
Plant MW ML/y ML/MW Comment
Keephills 766 16000 20.9 Inefficient
Battle River 663 6019 9.1 More efficient
Shepard 800 3796 4.7 Very efficient due to plant design and uses reclaimed water
