Drayton Valley Power

Drayton Valley Power is a 12MW biomass electricity generating station near Drayton Valley, Alberta, about 120 km west of Edmonton. The facility is operated by Algonquin Power, and uses wood refuse from the nearby Weyerhaeuser sawmill.

It was moved to Alberta in 1996 when logging near North Fork was prohibited to protect spotted owl habitat, thus ending the plant’s fuel supply.
