Digging deep on the NDP’s “Grid & Growth” plan for Saskatchewan’ electrical grid, Part 1
The long-awaited Saskatchewan New Democratic Party long-term plan for the provincial electrical grid was released in Regina on April 8, and it puts a lot of emphasis on on natural gas-fired power generation, wind, solar and storage, eventual nuclear power, but an end to coal-fired power “as practical.” Instead, coal units would be converted to natural gas for their fuel.
NexGen and Denison Mines uranium mine projects both going ahead
It’s not every day that you get to announce two uranium mines are going ahead, but that’s what’s happening in Saskatchewan.
Stampede Drilling is going to wildcat in Greenland – and that’s no joke
Stampede Drilling, originally founded in Estevan, is sending a drilling rig to Greenland, yes, Greenland, to drill for oil. This is about as wildcat as you can possibly get, in one of the most inaccessible and hostile places on the planet.
This is NOT an April Fool’s joke, either.
The coal refurbishment plan, laid out by year until 2035
There’s been a lot of talk about the coal refurbishment. Here’s the plan, laid out year by year until 2035.
NDP say coal refurbishment will double electricity rates by 2050, prefer natural gas and renewables instead
““If you want to know what our plan is for coal, we don’t think it’s the best use of public money, what the Government of Saskatchewan is proposing to do, we think, of course, we’re not shutting down coal tomorrow, no matter how many times the Sask Party wants to say this. That’s not practical. It’s not on these this is an important part of our system. This provides reliable, fundamentally critical base load power right now it is. It is not where we should be investing for the future. And these are not investments that the government is making for growth.” – Aleana Young
