EPCOR/TransAlta Corp's TA.TO 450-megawatt Unit 3 at the Genesee coal-fired power station in Alberta returned to service on Nov. 18, the Alberta Electric System Operator said in a report.
The unit shut Oct. 10 due to a turbine blade failure.
The 1,218 MW Genesee station is located in Genesee about 50 miles southwest of Edmonton. There are three units at the station, the 384 MW Units 1 (which entered service in 1994) and 2 (1989) and the 450 MW Unit 3 (2005).
EPCOR, which owns all of Units 1 and 2, operates the station for its owners.
EPCOR and TransAlta jointly own Unit 3, which uses supercritical combustion technology.
EPCOR, owned by the City of Edmonton, owns and operates more than 3,000 MW of generating capacity, markets energy commodities, and transmits and distributes power.
TransAlta, of Calgary, Alberta, owns and operates about 9,000 MW of generating capacity and markets energy commodities in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Australia.
