Enbridge’s Weyburn wind project open house, Part 5: Health, setbacks, provincial dollars
Within days of the June announcement Enbridge had bought into the project, the province of Saskatchewan announced $100 million in loan guarantees for Indigenous groups to take part in the ownership stake. Pipeline Online spoke to Premier Scott Moe about this point the day after the open house, and that will be included in the year end interview videos to be published in the coming days.

“Our projects are better when we hear from the local community, so I encourage everyone, whether it be the RMs or the city here, to get in touch with us. We want to hear from you.”

Enbridge representatives said “apology” or “apologize” five times, and “sorry” twice during the presentation – not the typical sort of thing one usually hears from the developer planning on bringing a project worth in the range of a third of a billion dollars to a community.

It was a contrite Enbridge which presented a second open house in Weyburn for its planned 200 megawatt wind project, to be located east of the community. The project has seen several revisions, and Enbridge representatives repeatedly spoke about correcting mistakes and working with people affected by the proposed project.
200 megawatt Bekevar Wind Energy Facility joins Saskatchewan grid, produces less than a phone charger on opening day
On the day that SaskPower announced the addition of the new 200 megawatt Bekevar Wind Energy Facility to the grid, output at that wind farm totally died. It happened not just at Bekevar, but across the southern prairies.
That evening, Alberta’s 48 wind farms totaling a theoretical maximum output of 5,340 megawatt produced between 0 and five megawatts for at least three hours, from 8:44 p.m. until midnight. For most, if not all, of that first hour, wind output in Alberta was a big fat zero, just as it was at Bekevar in the late afternoon.
