About The Project

The Great Plains Power Station is the latest natural gas power plant being constructed in Saskatchewan, following the successful completion of the Chinook Power Station in 2019. The Great Plains Power Station is being constructed as a 350-Mega.watt combined cycle plant, very similar to specifications of the Chinook project. As of the fall of 2023, the project is now more than 90 per cent complete. Project work hours have exceeded 2 million, with lube oil and closed cooling water flushes in progress and the water treatment plant is operating.
