SaskPower’s Logistics Warehouse Complex, in its initial phase, will be built by two Saskatchewan companies: Wright Construction Western of Saskatoon and Westridge Construction of Regina.

The two companies were awarded the $100 million contract to build the facility at the Global Transportation Hub.

The goal of the build is to improve operational efficiency to better serve customers.

The facility is part of a long-term strategy to bring frontline employees together in fewer locations. The Crown power company says a centralized location will lead to operational efficiencies to better serve customers in the region.

Phase One of construction will include facilities for fleet services, logistics and metering.

Construction on phase one began last month and is projected to be complete in early 2024. A separate competition for Phase Two is expected to be complete by the end of 2025.

Phase Two will include facilities for transmission, distribution and safety,
