A Provincial Historic Resource by Larry Pearson ROSSDALE POWER PLANT A Provincial Historic Resource by Larry Pearson Summary EPCOR's proposal to construct a new gas turbine unit at its Rossdale Power Plant in Edmonton's river valley was the subject of extensive public hearings and debate.A critical issue was EPCOR's proposal to demolish the architecturally significant /932-1954 Low Pressure Power Plant designed by Maxwell Dewar, a prominent Alberta architect. This article examines Alberta Community Development's regulatory role, its use of an historic resource impact assessment to confirm the significance of the Low Pressure Power Plant building, and its evaluation, in conjunction with the Guidelines for the Rehabilitation of Designated Historic Resources, of the appropriateness of a range of options for placement of the new unit on the site.

  • The Rossdale Power Plant Preservation and Renewal
    THE ROSSDALE POWER PLANT PRESERVATION AND RENEWAL Presented to Edmonton City Council, Executive Committee July 8, 2013 Rossdale ReGeneration Group THE ROSSDALE POWER PLANT: PRESERVATION AND RENEWAL ROSSDALE REGENERATION GROUP Summary & Recommendations In March of 2013 Edmonton City Council and EPCOR began to review the status and viability of the decommissioned Rossdale Power Plant. The Rossdale Power Plant is the oldest and largest Power Plant of its kind in Alberta and also occupies one of the most historically important sites in Edmonton with a wealth of archaeological layers from 8000 year-old aboriginal gathering grounds and burial sites to fur trader-era fort structures. The Power Plant is a registered Provincial Historic Resource. For many Edmontonians, the Rossdale Power Plant is both an industrial building that provided households with electricity, and the “unofficial” entrance to the north side and Edmonton’s downtown. It is an iconic building that Edmontonians immediately identify as part of the city’s landscape. The interest of City Council in the long-term viability of the Rossdale Power Plant was seen by a number of people as both a challenge and an opportunity. Beginning in March, a number of individuals, some from community organizations, others from heritage and architectural groups, others simply individuals with interest in history and the river valley, came together and formed the voluntary Rossdale ReGeneration Group. Over the past four months the Rossdale ReGeneration Group has · Encouraged and included many interested
