Power Generation Facilities

How does SaskPower make power?

We operate 16 generating facilities, with an installed capacity of 3,056 net megawatts (MW) (as of December, 31, 2005). We also have purchase agreements with the Meridian Cogeneration Station, Cory Cogeneration Station, SunBridge Wind Power Project, and NRGreen Kerrobert, Loreburn, Estlin and Alameda Heat Recovery Projects.

Fossil-fuel generation is used to supply the majority of the electricity we produce, with the remainder coming from hydroelectric and wind facilities.
