Delivering Canada’s largest Indigenous-owned solar project

Worley Canada Construction, in partnership with George Gordon Developments Limited (GGDL) and Wicehtowak Solar Inc., is delivering Canada’s largest Indigenous-owned solar project.

Worley Canada Construction is helping to deliver a landmark 32MW solar farm near Bethune, Saskatchewan, for Wicehtowak Solar Inc. With a CAD84 million investment, this solar project is the largest 100 percent Indigenous-owned clean energy initiative in Canada and the first of many projects planned by Wicehtowak Solar Inc.

This project introduces a new model for Saskatchewan: a private Indigenous developer supplying electricity to an industrial customer via the SaskPower grid, under a 30‑year power purchase agreement with K+S Potash Canada. The Canadian Government is a financial supporter of the project.

Worley’s scope includes procurement of bulk and key tagged items, as well as full construction and commissioning services – covering piling, panel installation, rack erection, electrical works, building installation, and final commissioning. The contract was signed on 27 August 2025, with long-lead procurement and constructability support already underway. Main construction is scheduled to begin in April 2026, with ‘In‑Service’ status expected by December 2026.

Tim Burnham, SVP Canada Operations, commented: “This sustainable project strengthens Worley’s partnership with GGDL and advances our reconciliation journey, building on our work together on BHP’s Jansen Stage One Mill and K+S’ Cogen projects.”

“It reflects a shared commitment to long-term economic opportunity and industry participation in Canada’s energy transition.”
