Will TransAlta build a new power plant on the Wabamun site?
TransAlta currently has no plans to build a new power plant on the Wabamun site. The company is building Keephills 3, a 450 megawatt coal-fired power plant adjacent to the existing Keephills plant, in the Lake Wabamum region. The existing infrastructure lends itself to future industrial development on part of the site. Whether that might be a new power plant, or any other industry, is unknown at this time.
