Seven Stars Energy Project

Regulatory Information

Commercial wind developments—including Enbridge’s proposed Seven Stars Energy Project—are subject to environmental, regulatory and permitting reviews from governments at all levels. Before construction can begin on a project of the scale and impact of Seven Stars, Enbridge must navigate robust permitting and regulatory processes.

From a municipal perspective, the Seven Stars project requires the approval of separate development permits from the Rural Municipality (RM) of Weyburn and the RM of Griffin. These permits are essential for the project to proceed and involve public hearings. Local residents and stakeholders will have the opportunity to voice their opinions and provide input during these hearings, ensuring that community perspectives are considered in the decision-making process.

At the federal level, the project will be reviewed by Nav Canada and Transport Canada. These organizations assess the project's implications on air navigation and transportation safety, ensuring the wind turbines do not interfere with any existing aviation routes or infrastructure.

Provincially, the project will undergo an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), a comprehensive process that involves third-party studies commissioned by Enbridge to examine the project's impact on local wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and watercourses. The EIA process is designed to identify any significant environmental concerns and propose measures to address them.

As project regulatory documents become available, they will be posted below:
