“As Medicine Hat continues to grow, this new substation will help ensure we can meet increasing electricity demand in the south end while supporting reliable service for customers,” Managing Director of Energy, Land and Environment Rochelle Pancoast said in a statement.

The City say at the time of approval that the site has no agricultural impact and its proximity to Highway 3 results in low social and visual impact.

The project has been in development since 2019.

Following a previous application process that was denied, the City submitted a revised application in December 2024.

MHS-11 is expected to be in service in spring 2027.
