The Seven Stars Wind Energy Project is a 200-megawatt (MW) wind facility that’s planned for the Weyburn area. We’ve signed an agreement with Seven Stars Energy Limited Partnership to purchase the power generated from this facility.
The project involves a partnership between Enbridge Renewable Generation Inc. (Enbridge) and Six Nations Energy Development LP (Six Nations). Six Nations is a newly created consortium of Cowessess First Nation, George Gordon First Nation, Kahkewistahaw First Nation, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, Pasqua First Nation and White Bear First Nation. They’ll own at least 30 percent of the project once it’s in operation.
In ideal conditions, the facility will produce equal to what’s needed to power about 100,000 homes.
Why Wind?
Wind generation is a cost-effective addition to our power supply mix that doesn’t emit greenhouse gases while generating power. Learn more about wind power and how it works.
Utility-scale wind projects complement our existing generation mix. But wind is an intermittent source, so when the wind doesn’t blow, we must rely on other supply options.
Progress So Far
Enbridge is pursuing emissions-free energy generation opportunities across North America to meet its corporate environmental, social and governance commitments.
This project is estimated to be in operation by 2027.

Respecting the Local Environment
The IPP will be responsible to engage with the Ministry of Environment and other regulatory agencies to ensure all environmental requirements are being met.
Project Benefits
The project exceeds our target of at least 10% Indigenous ownership in all current and future wind projects. By creating more opportunity for Indigenous partnership in power generation we’re reinforcing our commitment to economic reconciliation.
