Six First Nations negotiated a minimum thirty per cent equity stake in a two hundred megawatt Enbridge wind project in Saskatchewan. The Seven Stars Wind Project is backed by up to one hundred million Canadian dollars in Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation loan guarantees and targeted for operation in 2027. T. Jake Sinclair is CEO of Cowessess Ventures Ltd and President of Six Nations Energy Development LP, the consortium behind the deal.
