Innagreen and Cowessess First Nation open Bekevar Wind Farm – The Environment Journal
December 10, 2024
Innagreen, the global renewable energy investment platform, and Cowessess First Nation recently opened the Bekevar Wind Farm. Located in Saskatchewan, Bekevar will supply 200MW of zero-emission power, providing the equivalent of 100,000 homes with clean, sustainable electricity each year.
The project is jointly owned by Innagreen and Cowessess First Nation, who owned 83 per cent and 17 per cent respectively. Bekevar is situated in the rural municipalities of Hazlewood, Kingsley, and on Cowessess First Nation reserve land. Developed by RES, the project is an example of how commercial energy companies and local communities can work together to achieve decarbonization in Canada and deliver local economic investment.
The project, featuring 36 Nordex N155/5.X turbines, will provide Cowessess First Nation with a significant annual return, enabling them to support the continued investment in economic opportunities and help fund essential community programs.
