The first project in the Power Generation Partner Program has come into service. The S-Elect 284 kilowatt solar project has a 20 year supply contract that began June 27th. The facility connects to the provincial electrical grid at the Stenen substation near Preeceville. The Power Generation Partner Program provides customers with the opportunity to generate power through renewable generation. The third and final intake of the program will take place from October 22nd to the 30th. At completion of the program, SaskPower expects to see up to 105 megawatts of customer-generated power added to the grid. The company says this will support SaskPower’s goal of reducing carbon emissions to at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.
