Regina Area Southeast Reinforcement
We’re building several new power lines in the Regina area. The new lines will strengthen the power grid in southern Saskatchewan and improve reliability in the area.
We’ll be connecting the lines to the Rowatt Switching Station south of Regina. The station will become a transmission hub and will support future growth as we prepare to add 600 megawatts (MW) to the power grid. It’ll connect to the Southwest Power Pool in the United States (500 MW) and the 100 MW Iyuhána Solar Energy Facility near Estevan.
Project Details and Potential Routes
This project consists of 3 new power lines that will improve grid capacity and reliability:
- We’ll build a new 120-kilometre (km) power line from the Peebles Switching Station west of Kipling to the Rowatt Switching Station (the large orange area running east on the map below)
- We’ll build a new 12 km power line from the Rowatt Switching Station to the Fleet Street Switching Station in east Regina (the green area running west on the map below)
- We’re splitting an existing power line that runs from the Poplar River Power Station near Coronach to the Condie Switching Station northwest of Regina. We’ll split the line southwest of Regina and build a new 25 km line that’ll connect to the Rowatt Switching Station (the blue area running north to south on the map below)
The thicker green, blue and orange lines in the map below represent the different route options we’re considering for each of the 3 new lines.
Through this project, we’re making a $205 million investment in our power system. We’re expecting the power lines to be complete by June 2027.
We Want Your Feedback — Use Our Map Tool
During this project, 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 routes for the new power lines.
Using our map tool, drop a pin on the map and let us know your feedback and insights on specific line routes and areas that are important to you.
You can also provide more detailed feedback on the potential line routes in the feedback form below.
Landowner and Stakeholder Meetings Coming Soon
We’ll be holding meetings with landowners and other stakeholders in March 2024. More details will be posted here soon!
What information can you share with us about the area?
What the coloured areas on the map mean:
The project consists of 3 new power lines, but we have several power line route options for each of these power lines:
- Peebles to Rowatt – 120 kilometres (km) – Orange lines running east
- Rowatt to Fleet – 12 km – Blue lines running west
- Poplar River to Condie Sectionalization – 25 km – Green lines running north and south
On the map, please drop a pin to indicate any factors we should take into consideration.
Choose a category pin and place it on the map. Then tell us about the location you’ve selected.
Use the '+' sign to pin the following categories:
- Recreational use
- Social or cultural significance
- Environmental significance
- Commercial or industrial use
- General observation
If you prefer not to share information on this public tool, you can also send details directly to Public Engagement.
Please be respectful and follow the moderation policy. Submissions that don’t meet these requirements or aren’t relevant to the subject matter or selected pin may be removed.
