Kruger Energy Saskatchewan Solar L.P. Retained by SaskPower to Build a Solar Energy Project

Kruger Energy announced that its affiliate, Kruger Energy Saskatchewan Solar L.P., has been retained by SaskPower to develop, build, own and operate the Foxtail Grove Solar Energy Project. Located on the outskirts of the City of Regina, Saskatchewan, construction for the 10-MW project is expected to begin in mid-2021, while the facility is expected to be in service as early as the end of 2021.

Under a 20-year power purchase agreement with SaskPower, the project will provide enough electricity to supply over 2,600 households in the Regina area, interconnecting with SaskPower’s existing distribution system. WestSource, a local partner of Kruger Energy, will participate in the development, operation and maintenance of the project which will be built on leased agricultural land.

“We’re thrilled to have been selected as SaskPower’s long-term partner in this project,” said Jean Roy, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Kruger Energy. “This agreement enables us to provide SaskPower with solar energy at an economical price for its customers. We’re happy to help SaskPower fulfill its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

Over the years, Kruger Energy has been recognized for its commitment to social responsibility and has played an active role in the communities it serves through its sustainable development projects.
The company plans to continue this tradition in Regina and engage in its role as an exemplary corporate citizen.
