CALGARY, ALBERTA – November 1, 2021 – KANATA Clean Power & Climate Technologies Corp (“KANATA”) is pleased to announce that WSP Canada Inc. (“WSP”) has been selected to support and accelerate KANATA’s engineering and project development capacity as the Owner’s Engineer for the Frog Lake – KANATA Power Plant Limited Partnership (“Frog Lake Power Plant”).
Partnering with Frog Lake First Nation, KANATA intends to build a 300MW power plant that runs on natural gas and produces zero carbon emissions. As Owner’s Engineer for the Frog Lake Power Plant, WSP will assist in building Canada’s first Net Zero power infrastructure using Allam Cycle technology. The utilization of this technology is a major step toward the decarbonization of power generation in Canada.
“WSP Canada is fully committed to supporting clients and communities through the Global Energy Transition. In North America, efforts to decarbonize energy must be done in close collaboration with Indigenous leadership. As a major step in this process, WSP Canada is excited to partner with Kanata Clean Power and Climate Technologies on the ground-breaking Frog Lake Power Plant,” said WSP Projects Director Daniel Matthews.
