SaskPower has selected a joint venture between Black & Veatch and Graham Construction to build two 46 MW simple cycle gas turbines at the Ermine Power Station, located near Kerrobert, and at the Yellowhead Power Station, located near North Battleford.

The work includes design, procurement, construction and commissioning of the facilities and related equipment and improvements.

As Saskatchewan continues to transition away from coal-fired power generation and introduce more wind and solar power to the grid, SaskPower said these additions would bring reliable, cost-effective baseload power to the province.
