PA Pulp Mill to open 21 jobs in May
The Prince Albert Pulp Mill is ahead of schedule and will soon be ready to begin producing power for the province and employing staff says mill general manager Dale Patterson.
“In the last month, we have come together with all our work and the potential exists for us to put green energy in the power grid by May,” he said. “So it’s coming in four or five months early.”
Once the mill’s biomass generators are up and running, Patterson said they’ll be taking on 21 full-time staffers as both operators and skilled trades.
The mill, now owned Paper Excellence announced with SaskPower this week that the facility would begin generating up to 10 MWs of power back to the grid—enough to power about 1000 homes—as the first phase of the mill’s reopening.
