SaskPower unveils plan for renewable energy sources
As the environment dominates the agendas of many world leaders over the coming weeks, those in Saskatchewan are announcing an ambitious new plan to help clean up our air.
Minister responsible for SaskPower Bill Boyd explained how by 2030, wind, solar, geothermal and other renewable energy sources will have the capacity to power up to 50 per cent of the province.
“This is a doubling of Saskatchewan’s renewable power capacity in just 15 years,” he said from SaskPower headquarters Monday morning.
Boyd said greenhouse gas emissions should be about 40 per cent below 2005 levels.
