RM of Weyburn approves Seven Stars wind project development permit – Pipeline Online
Dec 18, 2025
WEYBURN – Enbridge’s Seven Stars Energy Project got a crucial approval on Dec. 17, with the Rural Municipality of Weyburn voting 5-1 in favour of the project. One member of council recused himself due to a conflict.
Half of the 200 megawatt wind project, 23 of a total of 46 wind turbines, are planned for the RM of Weyburn. The remaining half, another 23 turbines, are slated for the neighbouring RM of Griffin, which still needs to make its own decision.
A public hearing was held by the RM of Weyburn on Dec. 8. During that hearing, council heard from six people speaking in favour of the project and three against.
Vocal opposition to the project has placed numerous billboards throughout and around Weyburn decrying the project. At the Dec. 8 hearing one of the opponents promised litigation against the councillors should she and her family endure harms from the project. Several local business people and RM residents spoke in favour of the project, its tax and economic spinoffs.
