Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX:AQN) says its power generation unit has won a 25-year deal to sell electricity to Saskatchewan Power Corp., the prairie province’s Crown-owned generator.
The Toronto-area company said Tuesday the power will be produced at its 177 megawatt wind power project in Chaplin, Sask., about 200 km west of Regina.
