Lithium in SK, Part 2: Saskatchewan government launches lithium incentives
Saskatchewan has a new opportunity to be part of the electrification revolution, but how will help out the fledgling lithium industry? The same way it is helping helium, oil and gas.
On Nov. 7, Minister of Energy and Resources Jim Reiter announced Saskatchewan would be extending its go-to incentive programs to lithium. The programs are the Oil and Gas Processing Investment Incentive (OGPII) and Saskatchewan Petroleum Innovation Incentive (SPII).
And, apparently, they work, as industry leader Prairie Lithium has already successfully taken advantage of SPII.
Lithium in SK Part 1: As the race for lithium takes off, Saskatchewan is seeing the dawn of a new industry
If you’re reading this on your phone, tablet or laptop, it is being powered by a lithium battery. If you plan on ever owning an electric vehicle, it is almost certainly going to use a lithium battery, and a very large, heavy one at that.

And that’s why lithium is so important. And Saskatchewan is poised to play a major role.
This is going to be the most in-depth coverage regarding the development of Lithium in this province. There’s going to be well over a dozen stories. Once you’ve read them all, you’ll have a really good idea of just what exactly is going on in the race for lithium.

“So let’s take let’s take the power thing first of all,” Eyre said, noting the proposed Clean Electricity Standard, if adopted in its current form, would mean no fossil fueled power generation in this province by 2035.
According to SaskPower’s Where Your Power Comes From website, on any given day, coal and natural gas combined provide 65 to 84 per cent of the power in Saskatchewan. On Nov. 6, it was 77 per cent.
Eyre said, “That’s a federal policy which we hope will never see the light of day, but which is moving along. We will freeze in the dark. And we know that. Saskatoon (is) powered by the Queen Elizabeth, a national gas-powered power station. The entire City of Saskatoon (would be) in huge trouble.”
