Pinnacle Renewable Energy to build a wood pellet plant in Alberta, Canada

Pinnacle Renewable Energy Inc. will be constructing a new $85 million wood pellet plant in the hamlet of Entwistle. This will be Pinnacle’s first plant built in Alberta, Canada, as Parkland County reported.

The plant will be located approximately one kilometre east of downtown Entwistle with access to the Canadian National Rail line, with the plant being operational by the spring of 2018. Once in production, the plant will create approximately 70 full-time positions.

As with any new project, there will be a slight level of disruption while a new road is built. Construction is slated for summer 2017.

Pinnacle Renewable Energy Inc. is the longest-established wood pellet producer in Western Canada.
