Estevan got to see an update on a new development taking place outside of town, as the Iyuhána Solar Project is being developed by Greenwood Sustainable Infrastructure in partnership with SaskPower and Ocean Man First Nation.
The project will be set up southwest of Estevan, providing a projected 100 megawatts, enough to power around 25,000 homes. The open house was the second held by Greenwood as the project has been moving forward.
Director of Corporate Affairs Devin Petteplace talks about the most recent moves they’ve been making.
“This is sort of an update on the progress of the project. We’re moving a lot closer. We are just about complete permitting for the project, and if all things go according to plan, which it looks like they will, we’re going to hopefully get into construction about Q3 of 2025.”
The timeline for the project puts the construction at 18 months, barring any major delays, rounding out to a December 2026 operational start.
