CurrentIsland Generation is located on the eastern side of Vancouver Island in Campbell River, BC, approximately 200 km northwest of Vancouver. The facility operates an Alstom GT24B gas turbine and an Alstom steam turbine with total capacity of 275 MW. It commenced commercial operations in 2002.In 2017 capital power purchased the following equipment,The 150 Mile House Energy Recovery Generation (“ERG”) facility is located at SpectraEnergy’s 150 Mile House Compressor Station #6A, just north of 150 Mile House, BC. Theproject is situated within the compressor station perimeters on private land owned by Spectra.The facility operates using waste heat generated with gas-fired turbines used to drive the pipelinecompressors. Historically, this heat was exhausted straight to the atmosphere. Installation ofdiverters on the existing exhaust stack and heat exchangers allowed the heat to be transferred to athermal oil loop, which is then used to drive turbines and generators using an Organic RankineCycle (“ORC”).The ORC follows the same process of a typical thermal steam plant of preheating, vaporizing,expanding, condensing and pumping a circulating fluid in a closed loop. However, ORC cyclescan make use of lower temperature waste heat to generate electricity by using an organichydrocarbon instead of water as the working fluid.These facilities are managed by myself and operated by Enbridge.
