Alberta Infrastructure (AI) will be expanding the Foothills Medical Centre's existing power plant to support the growth of the hospital, increase the ability of the electrical and heating system, and support the future power needs of the cancer care facility. AI is expanding the existing power plant footprint with a new building that includes the installation of a combustion turbine generator to increase capacity by 8 MW.
Construction is underway. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please contact us by phone at 1-877-236-1698 or through email at INFRAS.FMCPower@gov.ab.ca.

Construction Updates
Work continues to progress on site with most construction activities indoors with the facility anticipated to be operational in 2025. 
To commission the plant, we will be undertaking a loud steam release for the safe operation of the facility. We will be notifying those in the adjacent communities by mail 30 days prior to this occurring at site. We encourage you to sign up for email notices as we approach this activity. We ask if you are accessing the area, please follow site signage as safety to the community and our team is paramount.
