Electricity powers our televisions, video games, computers, cooks our food and plays our music.
Saskatoon receives its electricity from SaskPower, who produces it using seven fossil fuel power stations and seven hydroelectric generating stations throughout the province. Saskatoon is a growing city and is looking to produce much of its power itself. A proposal has been put forth to build a co-generational power plant at the University of Saskatchewan. The power plant would be fueled by natural gas and the excess heat produced would be used to heat the buildings at the University of Saskatchewan. There are many issues and concerns to be considered.
