Brandon Dispatchable Capacity Project

Manitoba Hydro is proposing the expansion of an existing natural gas-fueled electricity generating facility, located in Brandon, Manitoba. As proposed, the Brandon Dispatchable Capacity Project would include the development of three new simple-cycle combustion turbines, with an anticipated increase in production capacity of approximately 750 megawatts. Project components would also include a 32-kilometre natural gas pipeline, two electrical transmission lines totalling 3.5 kilometres, and upgrades to the existing electrical transmission station. The project is expected to operate for about 30 years.
