Boundary Dam Power Station

Boundary Dam Power Station is the largest coal fired station owned by SaskPower, located near Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada.DescriptionThe Boundary Dam Power Station consists of: two 62 net MW units, two 139 net MW units ; one of which — Unit 3 — was decommissioned and replaced with a new 160 MW unit in 2013, one 139 net MW unit and one 273 net MW unit .The boilers are supplied by Babcock & Wilcox and Combustion Engineering while the turbines/generator are supplied by General Electric and Hitatchi. There is also Boundary Dam located next to the station. It is an earth fill dam, which created the Boundary Reservoir on Long Creek a few kilometres west of the river's mouth on the Souris River. The station uses water from the reservoir for coolant, which is why Boundary Reservoir is the only body of water in Saskatchewan that doesn't freeze over during the winter months and why it's also the only body of water in Saskatchewan that supports largemouth bass. The lake's fish species include walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, burbot, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and white sucker.
