The vice\u002Dpresident of the Saskatchewan Environmental Society says Saskatchewan is struggling to meet net zero due to poor decisions.
More importantly, perhaps, this project diverted SaskPower’s attention from investigating renewable power options at a time when other utilities were making significant strides in that direction.
Finally, in recent years, SaskPower has gone all in on unabated natural gas power generation rather than considering other options, the most obvious of these being a robust interconnection with Manitoba Hydro.Article content The 2020 Saskatchewan auditor’s report indicates that SaskPower would decommission Unit 4 at Boundary Power Station in 2021, Unit 5 in 2024, and Unit 6 in 2027. Further, all other coal-fired power stations without CCS would be closed by 2029. Currently, this is not happening.
