Husky investing $700 million for new Edam and Mervin-area plants
Husky Energy is planning to create two new thermal plants in Saskatchewan, one of which will be in the Edam area, for a total value of $700 million.
Both projects are expected to start heavy oil production in 2021.
The new Edam Central plant will be located near the current Edam East and Edam West facilities, while the new Westhazel facility will be situated west of Mervin.
“We’ll now begin the process of seeking regulatory approval,” said company spokesperson Mel Duvall. “That starts by filing the applications. We’ll hold open houses in the areas where the plants are going to be built. Typically, within a year we should have all the approvals in place, and then will get down to construction.”
