We’re building a new power line in the Melfort and Lanigan region to reinforce the power system and provide reliable power for our customers in the area.

We’re planning to build the line from the Beatty Switching Station near Melfort to an existing power line near the village of Jansen. We expect this project to be completed and in service by fall of 2029.

Project Details

From our initial assessment, we’ve developed some potential line routes. We’re engaging with Rightsholders, landowners and other stakeholders in the area to narrow the options down to a preferred route for the new power line. It’ll be about 122 kilometres (km) long and will need a new 40-metre (m) right-of-way.

This project will cost about $140 million. It’s partially funded by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program – Green Stream.

We Want Your Feedback

Public engagement is important to us with all projects. We’re working with First Nations and Métis communities, local municipalities and landowners to collect feedback. We’ll use this feedback to develop and refine the best overall route for the new power line, and to understand how we can reduce potential impacts.

We’ll need to secure easements for the new power line right-of-way. Once the preferred route has been determined, we’ll reach out again to directly impacted landowners for more feedback.

You can provide feedback in several ways:

Visit One of Our Site Offices

We’re holding a second round of open houses to get your feedback on the revised route options. Come chat us and see how the feedback we’ve already received as shaped the routes. No appointment necessary. Visit us at one of the following sessions:

    Has a route been chosen yet? If not when will it be announced and how will it be relayed to the public?

    Thanks for your question! We’re currently going through the feedback we received from our public engagement this summer. We plan to further engage communities and stakeholders before the end of 2025. We hope to have a final route decision by spring of 2026. Landowners who are directly impacted by the final route will receive a letter of notification from us. We’ll also post the information on this project page. You can also subscribe for project updates.
