SaskEnergy has earmarked US$60 million to modernize its Unity Compressor Station in Unity, Saskatchewan, Canada. The renewal project will replace aging infrastructure by installing four new, high efficiency compressor units, upgraded monitoring and safety systems, and an expanded footprint to enhance reliability and meet the province’s growing energy needs.
The Unity Compressor Station can move up to 211 MMcf/d (5.6 x 106 m3/d) of natural gas per day. It compresses natural gas coming from Alberta at the Unity interconnect and moves gas from the Unity Storage Field, both of which play key roles in ensuring system reliability especially during periods of peak demand.
“This station is vital to our system, and this is a strategic investment in the long-term sustainability of Saskatchewan’s natural gas network,” said Mark Guillet, SaskEnergy’s president and chief executive officer. “Modern infrastructure means we can continue delivering safe, dependable natural gas to homes and businesses without interruption, maintaining our 99.99% system reliability.”
Planning for the project began in 2023 and site preparation began in the summer of 2025. Installation of the new compressor units will start in early 2026 and is scheduled for completion by November with no impact on natural gas service to Unity and area residents during the process.
