Saskatchewan and several other provinces and territories have signed an agreement to advance a proposal for a national energy corridor in Canada.
The partnership also includes Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Nova Scotia, the Northwest Territories, Ontario, P.E.I. and the Yukon.
The Government of Saskatchewan said the agreement “marks a historic step toward strengthening Canada’s energy security” and builds on a summit held last year which identified improving electricity transmission between provinces as a high priority.

Improvements in east-west energy transmission will mean new economic opportunities for the province, the government noted, while supporting growing demand and improving reliability.
“Strengthening transmission connections will ensure that Saskatchewan families, communities and industries continue to have access to reliable and affordable electricity, while giving us export opportunities as a jurisdiction with allocatable baseload power production to contribute to the energy security of our neighbours,” Jeremy Harrison, the minister responsible for Saskatchewan’s Crown Investments Corporation, said in a statement.
“Saskatchewan has been working closely with partners, including Ontario Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce, to advance practical solutions that strengthen electricity infrastructure and improve connections between provincial grids.”
The provincial government said it plans to continue working with other provinces to advance projects that will improve power transmission between provinces.
