The way we create and use energy is undergoing one of the most significant generational shifts and opportunities ever undertaken. Electrification of everything we use will grow by at least 50% by 2050.
Creating a clean energy system is a balancing act of choices that considers the impacts on people, economies, power systems, and the planet. An orderly transition hinges on our ability to deliver reliable, affordable, abundant, and clean power, including natural gas. Global energy security is more important than ever.
We’re excited to share how Capital Power is collaborating across the U.S. to deliver, build and create the clean power solutions needed to meet the energy expansion!
About Us
Capital Power (TSX: CPX) is a growth-oriented North American power producer. We prioritize delivering reliable and affordable power communities can depend on, building clean power systems, and creating balanced solutions for our energy future.
As a group of experts and innovators in our field, we work to deliver responsible power for communities across Canada and the U.S. through the development, acquisition, ownership and safe operation of renewable and thermal power generation facilities. Currently, we own approximately 9,300 MW of power generation capacity at 32 facilities – including 4,600 MW of natural gas, wind and solar capacity in the U.S.
We’re excited to join the Phoenix business community
Capital Power has launched our U.S. headquarters in Phoenix in May 2024. We’re bringing our corporate staff to this thriving city to run our large U.S. power generation portfolio, including 2 major natural gas assets in the state.

Beyond Transition | Navigating an ‘Energy Expansion’ with Natural Gas and Renewables
The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, often called the “energy transition.” But it’s more than just a transition—it’s an “energy expansion” driven by unprecedented levels of demand.
Population Growth:
The world’s population is projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, driving up energy consumption for homes, businesses, and transportation.
Economic Development:
As economies grow, particularly in developing nations, energy demand rises to support industrialization, urbanization, and improved living standards.
Technological Advancements:
New technologies like AI, data centres, and electric vehicles are energy-intensive and require a massive increase in power generation. As these become more integrated into our lives, the demand for electricity will only intensify.
As a result, both the transition to net zero and a dramatic increase in the overall capacity to produce and deliver energy are needed.
This dual challenge – meeting increasing demand while preparing for a cleaner energy future – requires fundamentally reimagining energy production, distribution, and consumption. It calls for investments in new infrastructure, innovative technologies, and creative solutions that balance reliability and sustainability.
Our Balanced Approach
Capital Power is uniquely positioned to help achieve this energy expansion and the energy transition. Our strategic philosophy centres on delivering balanced energy solutions. We recognize that the path to a sustainable future is not about choosing between renewables or traditional sources but about harnessing the strengths of both.
The company recognizes that customers need clean energy for the future but also require reliable and affordable electricity today. Reliable, dispatchable power sources like natural gas are essential to complement the intermittent nature of renewables, like wind and solar, and support the further build out of this clean capacity for our girds. Capital Power’s natural gas assets provide this crucial stability, ensuring a consistent power supply regardless of weather conditions or fluctuations in renewable output.
