A major wind power project is planned for Weyburn, Sask. Enbridge wants to build a facility near the city in collaboration with Six Nations Energy Development LP.
Enbridge says it’s well advanced into planning for the “Seven Stars Energy Project.”
“We’ve assembled land which is a great start. We’ve done a whole bunch of environmental studies but it’s not fully permitted yet,” Vice President of Enbridge Matthew Akman explained.
The Calgary headquartered energy giant is proposing to construct a wind farm on property just southeast of the “Opportunity City.”
The proposed 200 megawatts capacity would be enough to meet the needs of 100,000 homes.
“We’re targeting a potential, what we call final investment decision as early as next year so [we’ve got a] lot of work to do still,” Akman added.
The wind power project will be equal in size to one located near Assiniboia, which currently is the largest in the province.
