“We’re actually looking at greening them by 2020, not 2030,” ATCO president and CEO Nancy Southern said Wednesday of the company’s coal-fired power plants and the NDP government’s 2030 deadline to phase them out.
“Our belief is that it makes sense to move to gasification of those coal plants now,” she said.
ATCO operates the Battle River and Sheerness coal-fired generating stations in the province, which produce a combined 1,469 megawatts of electricity, and the company would be among the first in the province to convert its coal plants.

Sounds like all of Atco coal plants will be converted by 2020 to Natural Gas. There will be alot of jobs lost when the coal mines close.
