CARLA BECK’S TEAM TAKES GRID & GROWTH PLAN TO MINING FORUM

Grid And Growth Plan Receives Overwhelmingly Positive Feedback In First Week Since Release
SASKATOON – Carla Beck’s team is attending the 18th annual Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum today in Saskatoon, speaking with industry leaders about their newly released Grid and Growth Plan.

The ambitious plan, available for review and public feedback at GridandGrowth.ca, will keep power rates affordable for families, farms and small businesses, reduce emissions, drive investment and generate $33 billion in economic activity.

“You can’t do business without affordable power,” Beck said. “We know that keeping costs competitive is critical — and we can do that while driving new forms of energy. Our plan leans into natural gas, a historic shift to renewable energy and carves a clear path to bring nuclear online, too.

“We know this plan — specifically the nuclear piece — presents so much opportunity for the mining industry and investors and we’re excited to share it with them and talk about how we can collectively build a bright future.”

Independent analysis conducted on Scott Moe’s current power-generation plan determined it to be the costliest and most risky. The cost to refurbish existing Saskatchewan coal plants originally stated by Moe’s bumbling SaskPower Minister has tripled since it was first announced.

“With this Grid and Growth Plan we can make sure the electricity flowing builds our economy, not someone else’s,” said Aleana Young, Jobs, Economy & SaskPower Shadow Minister. “This is about Saskatchewan becoming an energy-producing powerhouse. We’re reducing reliance on imports and setting the right conditions for game changing investment.”

Energy & Resource Development Shadow Minister Sally Housser said there are so many opportunities to provide cheaper, more reliable power for mining operations in Saskatchewan.

“We know there is so much benefit for the people of this province if we can reduce costs to develop our resources,” Housser said. “We will undertake infrastructure planning with neighbouring provinces, First Nations, industry, and the federal government.

“This approach will see Saskatchewan strengthen its energy security while building a more competitive provincial economy. It’s time to get this right. It’s time for change.”
