We selected Burns & McDonnell as our engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) partner to design and build the Aspen Power Station. Procurement opportunities and a list of the contracts awarded are updated on the Burns & McDonnell project website. As of February 2026, 93% of procurements have been awarded.
Throughout the Aspen Power Station project, SaskPower and Burns & McDonnell have strived to contract local, Indigenous and women-owned companies wherever possible. We’re very pleased to have exceeded the levels of participation reached with previous power station builds, including our minimum spend commitments for the Aspen project.
Below are the updated spend commitments to date:
| Suppliers | Minimum Spend Commitment | Committed to Date (as of Jan. 31, 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Local (Saskatchewan) companies | $364 million | $588.5 million |
| Indigenous-owned companies | $54.6 million | $270.5 million |
| Women-owned companies | $25 million | $30 million |
At times, specialized equipment can't be made in Saskatchewan and must be procured from out of province. This includes our gas and steam turbines.
