Grande Prairie Generating Station

Meeting Peak Demand with Advanced Emissions Controls

Grande Prairie Generating Station helps keep western Canada powered during peak times, using advanced emissions controls to deliver cleaner energy. Owned and operated by Constellation, Grande Prairie is a one-unit, 105-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fueled electric generation facility located 250 miles northwest of Calgary in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada – Constellation's only generating asset in Canada. The station's single turbine is powered by natural gas using state-of-the-art emissions controls and is used to meet western Canada's peak energy demand periods.

Safety First

Constellation takes a safety-first approach in our culture and business practices. All Constellation generation facilities employ sophisticated emergency response plans designed to protect public health and safety. These plans are reviewed and approved by state governments and federal regulatory agencies and include coordination with local and municipal officials, as well as thousands of volunteers and first responders.

To protect the safety and health of our employees, contractors, customers and communities, we've implemented a number of initiatives to promote safe behaviors both on and off the job. These include a safety behavior observation program and focused initiatives on high-risk areas. We offer safety training integrated with leadership development programs for supervisors and managers, as well as new employee orientation. Plus, a safety peer group identifies successful pilot programs and best practices that can then be adopted across the entire organization.
