- The Saskatchewan Indigenous-led organization dedicated to advancing involvement in energy and resource sectors is set to host its first-ever Energy and Natural Resources Gathering on May 28–29, 2025, at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon.
- This forum follows recent Indigenous-led renewable energy project announcements in south-central Saskatchewan, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance Indigenous economic participation in energy and resource sectors.
- Potentia Renewables and M-Squared Renewables are partnering to develop two Indigenous-led energy projects in south-central Saskatchewan: a 200 MW wind facility located near Assiniboia and a 100 MW solar installation close to Coronach, with M-Squared holding a 51% Indigenous ownership stake in both ventures.
- SaskPower forecasts these projects will power about 125,000 homes, operate with zero emissions, and are expected to complete by late 2027 under long-term power purchase agreements.
- These developments signify a milestone for Indigenous self-determination by fostering economic growth, infrastructure opportunities, and stronger partnerships supporting reconciliation in Saskatchewan.
