• 875 MW natural gas fuelled combined cycle generating station
• Brampton, Ontario
• Designed to be the cleanest power-generating source of its type in Canada
• 95% less water consumption versus comparable facilities
• Employing more than 900 people during construction

Goreway Station is an 875 MW (nominal net output) natural gas fuelled combined cycle generating station under construction on a "greenfield" site in Brampton, Ontario, a rapidly developing suburb northwest of Toronto. The facility is being implemented pursuant to a long-term Accelerated Clean Energy Supply agreement with the Ontario Power Authority. Under the terms of the agreement, the project will participate in the competitive electricity market administered by Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator.

The project will utilize General Electric's Frame 7FB combustion gas turbines in a 3x1 configuration. The facility will be among the largest combined cycle installations in Canada. By incorporating selective catalytic reduction technology to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, the plant will also be among the country's cleanest. An air-cooled condenser will be used, reducing water consumption by 95% compared to facilities utilizing conventional evaporative cooling towers. The plant is expected to be in commercial operation by the end of 2008.
