Crusoe with KALiNA Distributed Power / Near Drayton Valley, Brazeau County, AB

Announced

One of three KALiNA Distributed Power energy parks paired with Crusoe, on a 160-acre site in Brazeau County. Crusoe and KALiNA put each site at 170 MW of gas generation. The 280 MW data load request at the site was cancelled in August 2026, and a 178 MW gas plant there went back on AESO's list in October 2026 with no data load attached.
