Boundary Dam Power Station is the largest coal fired station owned by SaskPower, located near Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada. == Description == The Boundary Dam Power Station consists of:〔(Plant Description )〕 two 62 net MW units (commissioned in 1959), two 139 net MW units (commissioned in 1970); one of which — Unit 3 — was decommissioned and replaced with a new 160 MW unit in 2013,〔"(Alberici to install turbine for SaskPower carbon capture facility )."Electric Light & Power''. 1 September 2013〕 one 139 net MW unit (commissioned in 1973) and one 273 net MW unit (commissioned in 1978). The boilers are supplied by Babcock and Wilcox and Combustion Engineering while the turbines/generator are supplied by General Electric and Hitatchi.〔(Coal Fired Power Plants in Canada - Power Plants Around the World )〕 There is also Boundary Dam (constructed in 1957) located next to the station. It is an earth fill dam, which created the Boundary Reservoir on Long Creek a few kilometres west of the river's mouth on the Souris River. The station uses water from the reservoir for coolant, which is why Boundary Reservoir is the only body of water in Saskatchewan that doesn't freeze over during the winter months and why it's also the only body of water in Saskatchewan that supports largemouth bass.〔Snook, M., "(Saskatchewan's Best Fishing Hot Spots )", ''Western Sportsman''. 22 June 2011. Retrieved 20 December 2014.〕 The lake's fish species include walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, burbot, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and white sucker. The plant has five 300 ft (91.44 m) tall smokestacks.〔("Boundary Dam Power Station" ).
