Gov't pledges $950M
The provincial government will spend more than $950 million this year to upgrade Saskatchewan's electrical system -- SaskPower's largest investment in its grid to date.
Standing in Saskatoon's 50-year-old Queen Elizabeth Power Station, Crown Corporations Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said Friday the spending is needed to provide a growing population with power, ensure businesses have the electricity they need to operate, and upgrade an "infrastructure deficit" left by the previous NDP government. Of the $954 million set to be spent this year, nearly $400 million will go to new-generation projects.
