SaskWater Meadow Lake Solar — 99.5 kW Ground Mount in Far Northern Saskatchewan

Project overview

SaskWater (Saskatchewan Water Corporation) chose Prairie Sun Solar to install a 99.51 kW ground-mount solar system at the Meadow Lake Water Treatment Plant in far northern Saskatchewan, commissioned December 2023. At a latitude of roughly 54.1°N — about 5 degrees farther north than the Estevan-area projects in our fleet, where conventional wisdom says solar tails off — annualized output is still 1,411 kWh per kW per year, about 13% above the Saskatchewan provincial average of 1,200–1,300. Two full years of production data: 121,205 kWh in 2024 (first full year), 142,864 kWh in 2025 (improvement as the system settled in). A Crown-corporation customer demonstrating that properly engineered solar performs well across the entire province, not just the southern half.

What stands out

• SaskWater Meadow Lake Water Treatment Plant — 99.51 kW ground-mount solar in far northern Saskatchewan, commissioned December 2023
• 1,411 kWh per kW per year at 54.1°N latitude — about 13% above the Saskatchewan provincial average of 1,200–1,300, even ~5 degrees farther north than our southernmost installs
• Year-over-year improvement: 121,205 kWh in 2024 → 142,864 kWh in 2025 as the system settled in
• Crown-corporation customer (Saskatchewan Water Corporation) — proof that solar performs strongly across the entire province, not just the southern half
