Turner Valley Waste Gas May Power Alberta Plans
A British firm proposes to harness Turner Valley waste natural gas to generate electricity in southern Alberta. It would invest about 105 million dollars over 15 years, build a plant within 90 days of approval, and produce 70 000 horsepower annually. Power would be sold to western provinces and neighboring states, with a 99 year exclusive franchise and possible future government takeover. The project aims for about three tenths of a cent per kilowatt hour.
