Overview
- Steel Reef Infrastructure Corp. has signed agreements with SaskPower to supply electricity generated from flare gas.

- The company plans to invest $265 million in new turbines and substations at five gas plants in Saskatchewan.
- This move addresses environmental concerns, as flaring releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
- The World Bank and Canadian regulations emphasize the need to reduce flaring due to its wasteful and polluting nature.
