Regina Area Southeast Reinforcement

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:

1. 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)
2. 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)
3. 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.
