Northland Power was recently selected by electricity supplier SaskPower to provide 261MW of base load power and 87MW of peaking power. GE will supply its 7FA heavy duty gas turbine for the North Battleford baseload power plant and two LM6000-PF aeroderivative gas turbines for the Spy Hill peaking plant.
Keith Triginer, country executive for Canada at GE Energy, said: “Canada is a key growth area due to its commitment to cleaner energy, and our project with Northland Power reinforces GE’s commitment to serving the world’s energy demands responsibly.
“The fuel and operational flexibility features of our technology will help Saskatchewan meet its environmental goals.”
Northland Power has a net generating capacity of 872MW in operation and more than 3,300MW in construction or development.
