Poplar Hill Generating Plant
Poplar Hill Generating Plant is a natural gas power station owned by Heartland Generation. The plant is located about 30 km northwest of Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada. The plant operates in one of two modes as a synchronous condenser that allows the plant's generator to be disconnected from the turbine to provide voltage support or as a conventional power plant when additional power is needed in the region.[1][2]
