Enbridge and Indigenous Partners to Launch 200-MW Wind Project in Saskatchewan
(P&GJ) — Enbridge Inc. and Six Nations Energy Development LP, a consortium of Cowessess First Nation, George Gordon First Nation, Kahkewistahaw First Nation, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, Pasqua First Nation, and White Bear First Nations, announced a new 200-megawatt wind energy project near Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
The Seven Stars Energy Project aims to produce enough emissions-free power to supply over 100,000 homes. The project, set to be operational by 2027, will be developed and operated by an Enbridge subsidiary.
Financial backing includes up to $100 million in loan guarantees from the Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation (SIIFC), allowing the First Nation and Métis partners to acquire at least 30% equity ownership. A long-term power purchase agreement with SaskPower is also in the works, with final investment decisions expected in 2025.
"This is a game-changer for Indigenous Nations, providing emissions-free electricity and stable revenue," said Chief Matthew Peigan of Pasqua First Nation. Brent Digness, Minister of Economic Development and Tourism for Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, emphasized the project's environmental and economic benefits.
