This is a list of electrical generating stations in Alberta, Canada. Alberta produces a large share of its electricity through natural gas and a decreasing share of its electricity through coal (the latter to be phased out by 2023, seven years ahead of the provincial and federal phase-out). Over the last few years, a booming economy and the deregulation of the electricity market has led to the construction of dozens of new facilities—primarily alternatives (cogeneration, waste heat recovery) and renewables (e.g. wind, solar, biomass, biogas)—and the retirement of over a dozen coal-fired and older gas-fired units.
