During the third quarter of 2023 (July 1 – September 30), SaskPower’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility was available 98.3 per cent of the time, capturing 217,366 tonnes of CO2.

While online, the facility had a daily average capture rate of 2,674 tonnes, with a peak one-day capture of 2,852 tonnes. This resulted in an emissions intensity of 407 tonnes of carbon dioxide per gigawatt hour, which is within the current federal carbon tax threshold.
