Our Plant

In December of 2013 Lethbridge Biogas LP has officially opened the largest anaerobic digester/co-generation facility in Canada. The $30 million facility currently has a generating capacity of 2.8 MW – enough to power 2,800 homes. It has the capacity to produce as much as 4.2 MW in the future with the addition of new generating units. The facility has received funding from the Alberta Government, Department of Energy and from the Climate Change and Emissions Management (CCEMC) Corporation.
