requirements and reduced utility costs, ultimately translating into cost savings and environmental stewardship. As Campbell says, “The costs for operating and maintaining newer, larger facilities will be offset by lower maintenance requirements and reduced utility costs.” Beyond its operational benefits, the Regina Operations and Maintenance Complex holds immense potential to stimulate economic growth and job creation in the Regina area and throughout Saskatchewan. By fostering relationships with local and Indigenous suppliers and committing substantial investments to local businesses, SaskPower aims to catalyze economic development and advance supplier development opportunities. As Campbell notes, “Throughout Fiscal Year 2023/2024 SaskPower committed to $877 million of total spend to Saskatchewan suppliers.” Looking ahead, the Regina Operations and Maintenance Complex promises to be a catalyst for positive change, driving operational efficiency, economic growth, and community prosperity. With Phase 1 of the complex already completed in February 2024 and Phase 2 set to commence construction in spring 2024, SaskPower is poised to embark on a new chapter of innovation and excellence, powered by its unwavering commitment to powering Saskatchewan towards a sustainable future.
