Abstract
Image of the exterior of the A.L. Cole Power Station, Saskatoon, taken in 1929. The Saskatoon Power Station was renamed in 1954 in honour of Albert L. Cole who was the superintendent from 1937 to 1946. The station was built in 1910 to supply electricity for Saskatoon's lighting demands and trolley system. In 1928, the Saskatchewan Power Commission (now SaskPower) purchased the power station and installed a series of expansions to meet growing power demands. However, in 1957 with the opening of the Queen Elizabeth Power Station, A.L. Cole was relegated to meeting peak power demands. The A.L. Cole Power Station was closed in 1983 and decommissioned in 1995.
