NRGreen Power has completed construction of four waste heat units at compressor stations along Alliance Pipeline's natural gas pipeline system in Saskatchewan. These units each generate 5 megawatts of energy - enough to meet the power requirements of approximately 5,000 homes.

New Projects

Waste Heat Comes to Alberta
NRGreen Power is proposing to construct waste heat power generation units at three of Alliance's existing compressor stations in Alberta: Morinville, Irma and Windfall. These units would be constructed entirely within the perimeter of the existing station sites and would produce no greenhouse gas (or other) emissions.

Community Consultation
NRGreen has begun initial consultation with potentially impacted and interested stakeholders in the Morinville, Irma and Windfall area to ensure that all stakeholders remain informed throughout the various phases of the project and that any issues which arise are promptly addressed.

Facility Updates

Loreburn Waste Heat Facility (in-service)
Final completion testing of the facility took place at the end of May, and the waste heat unit is now up and running. Loreburn is our second waste heat facility in Saskatchewan and will produce enough energy to meet the power requirements of 5,000 homes.


Estlin Waste Heat Facility (in-service)
Final completion testing of the facility took place at the end of June, and the waste heat unit is now up and running. Estlin is our third waste heat facility in Saskatchewan and will produce enough energy to meet the power requirements of 5,000 homes.

Alameda Waste Heat Facility

Commissioning of the waste heat recovery unit was completed in April 2008, and construction and final commissioning was completed in mid-August. Once the powerline interconnection is complete, the site will be ready for start-up.
