Shand Power Station is home to the Shand Greenhouse, which is heated by recycled waste heat from the power plant during the winter months, allowing it to grow seedlings year-round. To date, the greenhouse has grown and distributed more than 12.5 million seedlings to rural customers to establish shelterbelts or to help support conservation projects. In 2024-25 the greenhouse produced approximately 540,000 seedlings of 24 plant varieties.
SaskPower continues to offer efficiency programs to support affordability such as the Energy Assistance Program, which provides lower income customers with energy-efficiency upgrades to help reduce bills, the Home Efficiency Retrofit Rebate, which is administered in partnership with SaskEnergy and provides eligible customers with a rebate of up to $ 1,800 for energy efficient home upgrades; and the Commercial Energy Optimization Program, which provides business with free energy-efficiency consultations to reduce operational costs.
SaskPower also offers Indigenousspecific supports such as the Northern First Nations Home Retrofit Program, which partners with First Nations to install energy efficient home upgrades, and the Indigenous New Homes Rebate, which offers financial support to communities to help make new home builds more energy efficient during construction.
SaskPower could not achieve all these things without its people, and it continues to be recognized as an employer of choice. In 2024 the company has received awards and designations including Saskatchewan’ s Top Employers and Canada’ s Top Employers for Young People.
As SaskPower looks to the future, its investments will continue to be focused on strengthening Saskatchewan’ s electricity system and ensuring a stable supply of reliable, affordable power for all customers. ■
