Capital Power announces a 15-year renewable energy agreement with Shaw Communications
17 Janeiro 2023 - 11:00AM
Capital Power Corporation (TSX: CPX) (“Capital Power”) has entered
into a 15-year agreement with Shaw Communications Inc., a leading
Canadian connectivity company, for the purchase of approximately 30
megawatts (MW) of renewable energy from the recently completed
Clydesdale Solar (75 MW) facility beginning on the facility’s
commercial operation date of December 13, 2022. The renewable
energy is bundled with 100% of the associated greenhouse gas
offsets and environmental attributes generated from Shaw
Communication’s share of the facility’s generation output. Combined
with a previously announced virtual power purchase agreement, the
Clydesdale Solar facility’s capacity is now approximately 90%
contracted over a 15-year term.
“We’re excited to provide Shaw Communications with renewable
power for their operations in Alberta,” said Chris Kopecky, Senior
Vice President, Chief Legal, Development and Commercial Officer of
Capital Power. “As we grow our renewables portfolio, we’re
committed to developing customized solutions that empower our
partners to capitalize on the benefits of clean energy. We’re proud
to help expand the renewable energy capacity available to power
Alberta’s economy.”
“Shaw is committed to efficiency and innovation that supports
the transition to a low-carbon economy,” said Zoran Stakic, Chief
Operating Officer and CTO, Shaw Communications Inc. “Our new
agreement with Capital Power will contribute to more
environmentally friendly operations and a brighter, cleaner, and
more sustainable future.”
The construction of Clydesdale Solar was completed on schedule.
Located on privately owned land in the Municipal District of Taber,
Alberta, the 75-MW facility is Capital Power’s second solar
facility to achieve commercial operations in Canada. The Clydesdale
Solar facility is projected to generate approximately 170 GWh of
renewable energy in the first year of operations. This renewable
energy agreement represents a total carbon displacement of
approximately 335,400 tCO2e, which is equivalent to taking a total
of more than 102,900 cars off the road.
