ENMAX Energy Corporation’s generation fleet is comprised of modern natural gas-fuelled units and renewable wind facilities. This helps reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in electricity generation compared to higher levels of CO2 produced by coal-fired generation.
Today, the majority of the electricity Albertans use is generated by burning coal.
The ENMAX group of companies have a better vision for Alberta.
The vision starts with generation. By having our own generation facilities that use cleaner-burning natural gas and are built closer to consumers, we can reduce our carbon footprint. We plan to combine high efficiency natural gas-fired generation with renewable sources such as wind power and solar power.
These are all ways that we are working towards our vision. We're excited by the benefits and possibilities this will provide for Albertans for years to come.
Natural gas is considered one of the least carbon dioxide emitting fossil fuel options available for electric power generation. Through subsidiaries, ENMAX Energy Corporation owns two natural gas generation plants; the Crossfield Energy Centre and the Calgary Energy Centre just north of Calgary, and co-owns the Shepard Energy Centre in southeast Calgary.
ENMAX Corporation's commitment to build long-term relationships with our stakeholders and communities is based on two fundamental guiding principles – communication and trust.

These two principles shape the development of our stakeholder relations philosophy which include:
The Downtown District Energy Centre is capable of supplying heat for up to six million square feet of new and existing residential and commercial properties.
While it’s relatively common in other parts of Canada and the United States, the Downtown District Energy Centre is the first of its kind in Calgary. Institutions like universities and hospitals often use district heating, but it hasn’t traditionally been used to heat commercial buildings in Calgary.
Alberta is a leader in Canada for wind energy production with the highest percentage of total installed wind generation capacity of any province.
All customers are free to purchase natural gas services from the default supply provider or from a retailer of their choice and to purchase electricity services from the regulated rate provider or from a retailer of their choice. The delivery of natural gas and electricity to you is not affected by your choice. If you change who you purchase natural gas services or electricity services from, you will continue receiving natural gas and electricity from the distribution company in your service area. For a current list of retailers you may choose from, visit www.ucahelps.alberta.ca or call 310-4822 (toll free in Alberta).
