Coteau Creek Hydroelectric Station is a hydroelectric station owned by SaskPower, located near Danielson Provincial Park about 100 km south-west of Saskatoon. The station is on the South Saskatchewan River and draws water from the Gardiner Dam.
The Gardiner Dam was constructed between 1959 and 1967. The generating station required nearly 3 years to construct at a cost of $40 Million and became operational in 1969.[1]
