Many Islands Pipe Lines (Canada) Limited Northwest Supply Expansion 2018 Project Overview Many Islands Pipe Lines (Canada) Limit
Many Islands Pipe Lines (Canada) Limited Northwest Supply Expansion 2018 Project Overview Many Islands Pipe Lines (Canada) Limited (MIPL(C)L) is a federally regulated and wholly owned subsidiary of SaskEnergy Incorporated, a Saskatchewan Crown Corporation. MIPL(C)L is proposing to build a 29-kilometer pipeline from the Nova Gas Transmission Limited (Nova) meter station east of Cherry Grove, AB to the TransGas Limited (TransGas) meter station east of Beacon Hill, SK. Additionally, a new compressor station is proposed to be constructed near the west end of this pipeline, within Saskatchewan. Residential, commercial, and industrial customer growth has increased demand for natural gas in Saskatchewan. Construction of the proposed project will support this growth by allowing for additional natural gas supply to be transported into Saskatchewan from Alberta through the Nova system to existing TransGas facilities in the area. Keeping our stakeholders informed is an important aspect of all our major projects. Stakeholder engagement is achieved through landowner, public, Aboriginal, and community involvement. We continually invest in Saskatchewan and believe strongly in working together with these partners when projects are being planned and developed. MIPL(C)L will submit an application to the National Energy Board (NEB) to seek the necessary approval for the proposed project. If you are unable to provide comments regarding the proposed project to MIPL(C)L, or prefer to do so directly to the NEB, you may do so by contacting: National Energy Board Suite 210, 517 Tenth Ave SW Calgary AB T2R 0A8 www.neb-one.gc.ca Toll free: 1-800-899-1265 Toll free fax: 1-877-288-8803 Frequently Asked Questions Why is this expansion needed? Residential, commercial, and industrial customer growth has increased demand for natural gas in Saskatchewan.

UAV Image Acquisition Services
ENVIRONMENT UAV Image Acquisition Services Recent developments in Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies have spawned opportunities for small-scale image capture (for facilities, mining, forestry, agriculture, etc.). Conventional fixed-wing aircraft and satellites are too costly to be used to capture imagery for small geographic areas —using UAVs we can now meet this need. The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) has many years of experience in remotely-sensed data acquisition and now offers UAV services to support industry and government as a cost-effective alternative to conventional methods. These small, environmentally-friendly vehicles (under 3 kg) are autonomous aircraft that fly a pre-programmed flight path to capture high-resolution imagery for small geographic areas (less than 1,000 ha). Services offered: • High-resolution image acquisition o Ground resolutions from 1.6 – 3 cm o Typical flight elevations from 60 – 110 m above ground (with terrain- following capability) o Shade-free image capability (when UAV flies under cloud cover) o Typical flights cover 30-50 ha; multi-flight capability • GPS ground control to improve positional accuracies • Image processing services o GIS-ready digital ortho-photos with metadata o Digital terrain data o Volumetric calculations (gravel pits, chip piles, etc.) o Image editing and analysis o Stereo photo interpretation CONTACT About SRC Jeff Lettvenuk SRC has provided Smart Science Solutions™ for more than 60 years. We are Environmental Performance and Canada’s leading provider of applied research, development, demonstration and Forestry technology commercialization. Our clients benefit from our multidisciplinary T: 306-933-5400 teams that work together to provide solutions to unique challenges in a variety E: [email protected] of industries.

The Renewable Energy Sector in Saskatchewan
the Renewable Energy Sector in Saskatchewan 1 issue in focus February, 2019 Core Issue In 2015, the Government of Saskatchewan committed to increasing its target for renewable energy generating capacity from 25 per cent to 50 per cent by 2030.1 The goal will include increased reliance on wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and other sources. The impact on greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reductions is projected to be 40% below 2005 levels by 2030. Saskatchewan’s load growth projections, coupled with an ageing generation fleet and ageing transmission infrastructure mean that significant capital investment will be required with or without the province’s renewables roadmap or the Government of Canada’s climate change policies. SaskPower’s procurement process per the renewables roadmap results in private developers designing, building, and commissioning new renewable generating infrastructure. It is important to point out that private sector developers will also be responsible for the associated costs and liabilities of owning and operating these new assets, not the public via SaskPower. SaskPower will purchase power from private developers at an agreed upon price and distribute it to end-users. The renewable procurement strategy has prompted a number of important questions around how generating sources will be integrated into the electrical grid, what impacts it will have on future electricity rates, the changing role of natural gas, the pros and cons for each type of renewable generation source, and more. The objectives of this report are threefold. The first objective is to offer a 360 degree overview of the renewable energy sector in Saskatchewan. The second objective is to identify the barriers and challenges that currently hold back the industry from reaching its full potential, as well as the business opportunities available.
