We’re building a new 133-kilometre power line in the Melfort and Lanigan region to reinforce the power system and provide reliable power for our customers in the area.
The new line will connect 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
The new 133-kilometres (km) line will need a new 40-metre (m) right-of-way (ROW) and will be built primarily on steel H-frame structures.
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.
You Helped Choose the Final Route
Public and stakeholder input has shaped this project from the beginning. Through two rounds of open houses in 2025, community members, landowners, Indigenous communities, municipalities and other stakeholders shared feedback and local knowledge on potential route options. That input helped us refine the routing and informed the selection of a final route.
Key themes we heard included the importance of:
Routing along section lines wherever possible
Avoiding homes, farmyards and airstrips
Minimizing diagonal crossings of fields
Reducing impacts to wildlife habitat and sensitive lands
The final route reflects this feedback as much as possible while also meeting our technical requirements.

As we move forward with the project, we’ll be in the area to meet with you to talk through what is next. These in-person sessions are an opportunity to:
Learn more about what’s involved as we prepare for construction
Walk through upcoming activities and timelines at a high level
Identify opportunities to minimize impacts as work moves ahead
Ask questions and share considerations specific to your area
