Federal agency Natural Resources Canada on Aug. 19 confirmed that up to C$50 million is designated for SaskPower from the agency’s C$250 million Electricity Predevelopment Program. Another C$24 million will be committed to the provincial government of Saskatchewan from the Environment and Climate Change Canada’s (ECCC) Future Electricity Fund (FEF).
