I wouldn't be surprised if reality dictates otherwise (or if these figures speak to "max capacity" despite not saying it) but the Canada Energy Regulator government website does state a figure around that.

About 91% of electricity in Alberta is produced from fossil fuels – approximately 43% from coal and 49% from natural gas. The remaining 8% is produced from renewables, such as wind, hydro, and biomass (Figure 3).
Alberta’s coal fleet is the largest in Canada and has a total capacity of 5 555 MW. Coal-fired generation is scheduled to be gradually phased out by 2030 under Alberta’s Climate Change legislation.

Their stats are from 2018....have things materially changed since? And I ask because maybe they have.
