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.

You can also provide more detailed feedback on the potential line routes in the feedback form below.

  • Potential Power Line Routes — Feedback Form

    We’re building several new power lines in the Regina area. These new lines will strengthen the southern power grid and improve power reliability in the area. 


    Right now, we’re considering a number of different power line routes, but we want your feedback! 


    Your input is an important part of our project and will be considered as we choose the best line routes and move forward with the project. That’s why we want to know:


    • what you think about the power line route options
    • how the project may impact you, your operations and your community 
    • any concerns and questions you may have
    • suggestions for how we could accommodate your concerns and reduce impacts
    • general knowledge of the project area, including environment and heritage resources


    Potential Power Line Routes — Map 


    Please review the potential routes for each of the 3 new power lines below and share your input with us by completing the questions in our feedback form.


    The map shows the following 3 power line route options: 


    1. Peebles to Rowatt – 120 kilometres (km)
      We’ll build a new power line connecting the Peebles Switching Station west of Kipling to the Rowatt Switching Station.

    2. Rowatt to Fleet – 12 km
      We’ll build a new power line connecting Rowatt to the Fleet Street Switching Station in east Regina.

    3. Poplar River to Condie Sectionalization – 25 km
      We’re splitting an existing power line that runs from Poplar River Switching Station 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.


    There are a total of 294 segments that could be used to determine a route. We’ll use a combination of the segment options to determine 1 preferred route for each power line.


    How to Complete the Feedback Form


    The feedback form asks questions to get more detailed feedback that is specific to each of the power line routes. If you don't want to answer a particular question, please skip it and move on to the next question.
