SaskPower has selected Iyuhána Solar LP to construct and operate Saskatchewan’s largest solar facility near Estevan.

Iyuhána Solar LP, a joint venture between Greenwood Sustainable Infrastructure, Saturn Power, and Ocean Man First Nation, will be responsible for the construction, maintenance, and operation of this groundbreaking facility.

The solar project, set to generate 100 megawatts of emissions-free power, is capable of supplying electricity to approximately 25,000 homes.

Scheduled to begin in 2025, the facility is expected to be operational by December 2026.

This project is a significant step in SaskPower’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, while also promoting collaboration with Indigenous communities and creating local employment and educational opportunities.
