Albertans disillusioned with Confederation rally for separation in Edmonton
Article content 'I thought it was a beautiful, fantastic country. But now I'm so disappointed. I'm literally crushed that we'll never be represented in this country and there's never a chance of changing the government,' Speck said. Earlier this week, Premier Danielle Smith's government proposed legislation that would lower the bar for holding a referendum. While Smith told reporters she won't presuppose what questions Albertans might bring to a ballot, the move would make it easier for citizens to call for a vote to secede from Canada. Danielle Smith lowers bar for Alberta referendum with separatism sentiment emerging The federal Liberals' election win Monday has also prompted some people in the province to demand an exit. Speck said the National Energy Policy of the 1980s eroded her Canadian pride. Now, a decade of Liberal policies that she said have blocked pipelines and stymied the province's energy industry have her thinking there's no fix under Confederation.

GE Vernova Turbines Powering New 1.2-GW Gas-Fired Plant in Malaysia
A global conglomerate involved in several industries, including the power generation sector, said it has started commercial operation of a 1,200-MW natural gas-fired power plant in Malaysia, part of a buildout of power generation capacity as that country's population grows and its economy expands. Worldwide Holding Berhad (WHB) on March 13 said the Pulau Indah power plant was now online in Selangor, about 37 miles from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital. The plant features two blocks powered by GE Vernova 9HA.01 gas turbines in a combined-cycle configuration. GE Vernova also has a 21-year contract to provide maintenance services and software solutions to the facility. WHB is a Selangor state-linked company involved in property management, heavy construction, civil engineering, and other businesses. [caption id="attachment_230852" align="alignnone" width="1024"] The Worldwide Holding Berhad (WHB) Pulau Indah power plant has entered commercial operation in Selangor, located about 37 miles from the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur. The 1,200-MW power station features two blocks of GE Vernova HA combined-cycle equipment. Source: WHB[/caption] The groups on Thursday said the HA turbines have the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas. 'We are proud to add this plant to the 116 units operating globally, and that have amassed more than 3 million commercial operating hours, the equivalent capacity needed to power more than 50 million U.S. homes,' said Ramesh Singaram, president and CEO of Asia, Gas Power, GE Vernova. 'With more than 40 years of operations and the largest base of installed gas turbines in the country, GE Vernova is uniquely qualified to support Malaysia's energy transition, while helping meet the growing power demand in the country.' Malaysian officials have said that the country's economy is estimated to triple in size by mid-century, and its population is projected to rise to more than 40 million people, up from its current 35 million. Officials said they expect a corresponding increase in power demand. The country also has a stated goal to reach net-zero emissions by as early as 2050, as outlined in Malaysia's latest National Energy Policy. The policy reflects a development strategy focused on lower emissions from development projects. Natural gas is a popular option for electricity generation in Malaysia due to its availability, and because it emits less carbon dioxide than coal. Gas-fired units also offer greater flexibility to deal with peaks in demand for power, and for the integration of renewable resources to the power grid. GE Vernova provided two blocks of 600 MW each for the Pulau Indah Power Plant. Each unit has a 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, and a Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generator (OT HRSG), according to the company. Overall plant performance will be monitored and enhanced with GE Vernova's tightly integrated Mark* VIe Distributed Control System software to help improve asset visibility, reliability, and availability while reducing operation and maintenance costs. Data collected from sensors throughout the facility will be monitored and analyzed 24/7 at GE Vernova's Monitoring & Diagnostics Center in Greenville, South Carolina. —Darrell Proctor is a senior editor for POWER.
