This location is just south or Richardson and Kronau (south of Highway 33). It will comprise 87 massive wind turbines and 20 quarter sections of solar.! I do not know the price tag but it has to be billions.
Invenergy is huge and the real deal. They still need a power purchase agreement with SaskPower, but that should be quite doable.
Here are the project documents:

Edit: They may already have a 20 year PPA with SaskPower |
Wind power is far more powerful than it used to be. Each turbine going in these recent projects generates about 4x the energy of the turbines from the decommissioned Centennial farm. Centennial used 1.2MW turbines, Bekevar used 5.4MW, Golden South 4.8MW.
