Our Shand Power Station is located south of Estevan and opened in 1992. It has 1 coal-fired unit (SH1) that can produce 276 megawatts (MW) of power. At 276 MW, Shand can produce enough power to supply about 270,000 Saskatchewan homes each year.
Our Progress So Far
We’ve started assessment work at all our coal power stations. At Shand, the engineering phase of work is expected to begin in 2028.
We also need to complete life extension work on common systems, known as SH0. These systems include the ash lagoon, coal handing equipment, and water treatment plant. They support the day-to-day operation of the Shand Power Station. This work will happen at the same time as other life-extension work to Shand’s coal-fired unit.
Check out a timeline of our work at Shand:
| Assessment | Engineering Design | Procurement | Construction | Commissioning | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SH1 | In progress | To start in 2028 | End of 2032 | ||
| SH0 | In progress | To start in 2028 | End of 2032 |
