N/GASGE Vernova is planning a 465 MW gas-fired power plant in Alberta with carbon capture technology. The Moraine Power Generation Project, located near Whitecourt, aims to provide baseload power and valuable insights into carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). However, the project faces challenges, including the need for regulatory approvals, carbon revenue certainty, and government incentives. While initially slated to begin construction in 2025, the timeline has been delayed, highlighting the difficulties of advancing large-scale carbon capture initiatives in Alberta.
