Special Areas No 2

Special Areas is home to the 780-megawatt Sheerness Power Generating Station, which provides coal and natural gas-fired energy to Alberta’s provincial grid. This region covers 5 million acres of productive farm and ranch land, generating close to $2 billion in agricultural receipts. CN Rail serves the area, with its terminal in Oyen, while highways #9, #12, #36, and #41 connect Special Areas to Calgary, Saskatoon, Red Deer, and Medicine Hat. Hanna, Oyen, and Consort act as primary service hubs, supporting the local economy and community needs.

Recently constructed, the Sheerness Industrial Park is designed to drive economic growth in Special Areas No. 2. Strategically located near major transportation routes and adjacent to the Sheerness natural gas power plant, it offers exceptional energy access, ideal for industries with high energy demands. With state-of-the-art infrastructure supporting modern technology needs, the park is geared toward attracting a diverse range of businesses – from data centers to manufacturing to renewable energy. 

Currently, the park is actively seeking interested buyers ready to capitalize on this unique opportunity.
