Catching up with Jeremy Harrison: What’s next for power, internet in northwest Sask.
Meadow Lake MLA Jeremy Harrison, who is also the minister responsible for SaskTel, SaskPower and SaskEnergy, says work is underway to make power more reliable and Internet access faster for people living in Northwest.
In an interview with meadowlakeNOW, Harrison confirmed SaskPower will carry out a second planned outage in Meadow Lake and the surrounding northwest region on Aug. 27 from midnight to 4 a.m., following the first outage on July 9.
“We usually try to do these where it’s at minimal demand time,” he said.
The outage is part of a two‑phase program to strengthen the power grid. Crews have already installed a new capacitor bank at the Meadow Lake switching station and will add a second transformer during the August outage.
