Greenlight
Electricity Centre
Greenlight Electricity Centre is a proposed multi-phased natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility with a capacity of up to approximately 1,800 megawatts (MW), designed to provide dedicated, behind-the-meter power to data centre customers in Alberta.
Project Overview
A partnership between Pembina Pipeline Corporation and Kineticor, an OPTrust portfolio company, the facility will leverage modern, high-efficiency industrial combined cycle turbines fuelled by natural gas and will capture waste heat to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine.
In addition to supporting data centre industry power needs, Greenlight Electricity Centre will create incremental new demand for natural gas, supporting higher production of natural gas and associated natural gas liquids from Western Canada.
Project Opportunity
Greenlight Electricity Centre will address the Province of Alberta’s request for $100 billion of investment in artificial intelligence (AI) technology to drive innovation, create jobs and diversify its economy. This demand surge is driven by advancements in AI, cloud computing, and digital transformation, with global data centre electricity consumption projected to double by 2027, reaching 2.6% of global electricity usage.

How It Works
Combined Cycle Power Generation
Greenlight Electricity Centre will utilize combined cycle power generation, a highly efficient and environmentally responsible approach to electricity production. This technology combines gas and steam power production, where:
01
A gas turbine generator uses natural gas as fuel to produce electricity
02
Waste heat from the exhaust is captured to produce steam, which drives a steam turbine generator to generate additional electricity
03
This process increases energy efficiency by up to 50% compared to traditional gas turbine generators
