Alberta Newsprint Company (ANC), in Alberta, Canada, produces cost-effective newsprint with a lean workforce of 185 employees. But with the rise of the Internet, demand for newsprint has decreased, forcing once thriving mills to close down. In order to remain viable, ANC has adopted a diversified strategy to ensure its standing as a leading producer of high-quality newsprint. In 2014 they commissioned a 65 MW natural gas-fired power plant, powered by 10 Cat® G16CM34 generator sets, this capacity represents more than half of ANC’s overall 125 MW power consumption.
