SaskPower is suing former partners for $14.3 million after an emergency oil pump failed at the Boundary Dam Power Station in 2018.
SaskPower is suing Saskatoon-based Mitsubishi Power Canada Ltd. and two Italian companies, among others, arguing an emergency oil pump and lubrication system failed to work when the Boundary Dam Power Station near Estevan shut down in June 2018 because of a thunderstorm.
The suit arises from a damaging shutdown at the $1.5-billion coal-fired plant, which the provincial government once touted as the future of carbon capture and storage technology. The plant became the first commercial-scale use of that technology in the world when it opened in 2014 and was promoted by the province as a way of reconciling the growing need to reduce carbon emissions with the economic realities of Saskatchewan, where coal still provides nearly a third of the province’s total energy.Article content
SaskPower had originally hired HCL, a predecessor company to Mitsubishi, to design, build, test and install the BD3 turbine. HCL later subcontracted Flenco to design an oil lubrication system and pumps for the design.
