This is a list of electrical generating stations in Alberta , Canada.
In 2023 Alberta produced 74% of its electricity through natural gas. [1] Alberta has a deregulated electricity market [2] which allows a large number of private companies to participate in electricity production, particularly in the cases of cogeneration and renewable energy. Alberta's electricity mix is changing towards lower carbon intensity. As of 2013, Alberta's electricity was 52% coal, 38% natural gas and 10% renewable. Ten years later in 2023, this had changed to 74% gas, 8% coal, and 18% renewable. [1] As of June 18, 2024, Capital Power announced that the last coal capable generator was now 100% natural gas-fueled and coal is no longer a source of electricity in Alberta. [3] Alberta has a legislated goal of achieving 30% renewable electricity by 2030. [4]

The electricity sector in Canada has played a significant role in the economic and political life of the country since the late 19th century. The sector is organized along provincial and territorial lines. In a majority of provinces, large government-owned integrated public utilities play a leading role in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. Ontario and Alberta have created electricity markets in the last decade to increase investment and competition in this sector of the economy.
TransAlta Corporation is an electricity power generator and wholesale marketing company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is a privately owned corporation and its shares are traded publicly. It operates 76 power plants in Canada, the United States, and Australia.
