Description edit

The Shand Power Station consists of:[1]

  • one 279 net MW unit (commissioned in 1992)
  • advanced environmental controls through a LIFAC (Limestone Injection into the Furnace and reActivation of Calcium) system

The boilers are supplied by Babcock & Wilcox and the turbines/generator are supplied by Hitachi.[2] The site is sized for a potential second unit in the future. A single 148 m (486 ft) smokestack is located at the plant, the tallest freestanding structure in Saskatchewan.

Shand Greenhouses edit

Shand Greenhouse was built in 1991 near the power station and is part of an initiative to offset the environmental impact of burning coal.
