Rossdale Power Plant, Provincial historic power station in Rossdale, Canada.

The plant features three connected structures along the North Saskatchewan River: a Low Pressure Plant, an Administration Building, and Pumphouse Number One.

Operating from 1902 to 2008, the Rossdale facility generated one-quarter of Alberta's electricity and remained Edmonton's sole power generation plant until 1970.

Maxwell Dewar, who later became Edmonton's City Architect, designed sections of the power station during the expansion phases between 1930 and 1950.

The facility requires 87.3 million dollars in upgrades for commercial purposes, with 4.5 million dollars needed for immediate structural repairs.

Men receiving financial assistance during the Great Depression constructed portions of the Low Pressure Plant, which contains original machinery in its fifty-foot-deep chambers.
