Canada's most efficient natural gas combined cycle facility generating reliable, affordable and cleaner power EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capital Power Corporation (TSX: CPX) is proud to announce its Genesee Repowering project is now complete as Genesee Unit 2 achieved combined cycle commercial operations today, resulting in Genesee Units 1 and 2 becoming Canada's most efficient natural gas combined cycle facility. Completion of this industry-leading project increases overall capacity at the Genesee Generating Station by 512 megawatts (MW) and reduces CO 2 emissions by 3.4 million tonnes annually - representing a ~60% increase in capacity while reducing emissions by ~40%. "Our Genesee Repowering project is immensely impactful for North American power generation, demonstrating there is a valuable life after coal for legacy facilities. As we're witnessing a drastic rise in energy demands in tandem with coal facilities coming offline, there has never been a bigger need or a better time for innovation of this scale,” said Avik Dey, President and CEO of Capital Power. "Our investment in Genesee ensures we can continue to reliably power Alberta's economy during the harshest winter nights and hottest summer days, while also unlocking major opportunities to power the many drivers of the energy expansion. This is a proud moment in our history that we're incredibly excited to build on.” "It is incredibly exciting to see the Genesee Repowering project be fully completed. This additional clean natural gas-powered generation is yet another big step towards ensuring Alberta's electricity is affordable, reliable, and sustainable for generations to come. I commend Capital Power for their continued innovation in Alberta's power market,” said Honourable Nathan Neudorf, Minister of Affordability and Utilities, Government of Alberta. The approximately $1.6 billion project began construction in summer 2021 requiring more than 5.8 million hours of labour with a peak of ~1,250 workers on site. Located entirely within the footprint of the existing Genesee Generating Station, the project involved installing two new Mitsubishi M501JAC gas-fired combustion turbines and Vogt triple-pressure heat recovery steam generators, while utilizing the units' existing steam turbine generators. In June 2024, the project achieved simple cycle operations for both units which resulted in the facility becoming 100% natural gas fueled - moving Capital Power and Alberta off coal five years ahead of government mandate. The Genesee Generating Station is now capable of delivering up to 1,857 MW of reliable, affordable and cleaner power for Alberta's thriving economy. The significant baseload generation available on the 26,000+ acre site supports grid-wide reliability while presenting opportunities for future development, energizing the Alberta advantage for new technologies, industries and growth. With the project now complete, Capital Power will be referring to the Genesee Generating Station as a single facility in our portfolio (30 total facilities instead of 32 when counting all three units separately).

In two-plus seasons with the Blackhawks, the 55-year-old Richardson posted a 57-118-15 record, including an 8-16-2 start to this season, in his first stint as a head coach. Chicago posted 59 points in his first season, then regressed to 52 in 2023-24, despite having No. 1 overall pick and 2024 Calder Trophy winner Connor Bedard on the roster. "Today I made the difficult decision to move on from Luke as our head coach. We thank him for his efforts and contributions to the organization and our community," Chicago general manager Kyle Davidson said in a statement. "As we have begun to take steps forward in our rebuilding process, we felt that the results did not match our expectations for a higher level of execution this season and ultimately came to the decision that a change was necessary. We wish Luke and his family all the best moving forward." The 49-year-old Sorensen had been the coach of the Blackhawks' AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs. He will be succeeded at Rockford by Mark Eaton on an interim basis. Eaton is the Blackhawks' assistant general manager overseeing player development. "On behalf of the entire Blackhawks organization, I'd like to thank Luke for his dedication over the past three seasons," Blackhawks chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz said in a statement. "I fully support Kyle's decision in making this change as he continues to do what is needed to move our team forward. I have the utmost confidence in him and the rest of our Hockey Operations team as they begin their search for the next head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks." Richardson was the Toronto Maple Leafs' first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in 1987 and posted 201 points (35 goals, 166 assists) in 1,417 games over 21 seasons. Playing for six teams, the Ottawa native also amassed 2,055 penalty minutes. This article first appeared on Field Level Media and was syndicated with permission.

One consequence of the Baltimore Ravens' recent skid (two losses in the last three games) is that Lamar Jackson is no longer the favorite to win NFL MVP honors. Yet regardless of his team's slump, there's an argument that Jackson is still having the most MVP-worthy season. Following Week 13 , Jackson is second in the NFL in passing yards, second in TDs and leads the field in passer rating. That's not even including his rushing numbers, where Jackson unsurprisingly leads all QBs in yards with 678. Meanwhile, Josh Allen -- who has surpassed Jackson as the betting favorite -- is not exactly having a statistical season that screams MVP. He's 10th in passer rating, 15th in passing yards per game (Jackson, who has played one more game than Allen, is fifth) and tied for sixth in passing touchdowns. Allen's numbers do improve when you account for rushing scores, which he has six of, and he also technically has a receiving score from a pitch play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. Even still, that only puts him fourth among QBs in total touchdowns, while Jackson, adding his own three rushes into the end zone, rises to the league lead. So, what gives? A number of biases are in play here, notably that Allen's Buffalo Bills (10-2) have a better record than Jackson's Ravens as well as the fact that Allen has had the flashier highlights as of late. His pitch-and-run TD against the 49ers comes two weeks after this game-sealing scramble against the Kansas City Chiefs, and as a result Allen is currently the toast of the NFL. It's not like Jackson hasn't made similar magic this season, though. Against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5, he stiff-armed a defender before throwing a touchdown to Isaiah Likely in what may still be the most impressive play of the 2024 season. If only he'd done that later on in the season instead, it might have mattered to MVP voters. Also likely contributing to Jackson's dwindling MVP case is the fact that he's already won it twice, including last year, while Allen never has. Some voters may feel uncomfortable awarding a third MVP to a player who has yet to appear in a Super Bowl, let alone win one. But the numbers don't lie. In spite of his team's faults, Lamar Jackson is statistically having the best season of any quarterback in the NFL, and there's no reason why he shouldn't still be given heavy consideration as its Most Valuable Player.
