Where it stands
The facts
What we know about Four announced facilities
What it is
A group of four separate facilities announced across Olds, Bonnyville, Calgary and Edmonton, together worth about CA$1.26 billion and 240 MW, listed on the province's major projects register.
Why we group them
Individually they are small next to Meta or Wonder Valley, but together they are a useful reminder: a budget figure in a press release is an announcement, not a building. None of the four has broken ground.
