The Project Outcomes
The Bioenergy plant has the capacity to produce approximately 55,000 MWhs of electricity per year to the SaskPower electrical grid which is equivalent to the annual power requirement of over 5,000 homes. Through harnessing residual biomass heat energy, the MLTC Bioenergy Centre is part of the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan’s transition to a lower carbon future. Specifically, the residual biomass-based electrical generation is engineered to consistently produce 6.6 MWs and displace an equivalent amount of fossil carbon-derived (coal) electricity. On a national basis, the MLTC Bioenergy Centre is also the largest 100% First Nation-owned producer of renewable energy in Canada.
