BUSINESS FINANCING
IN CORONACH.
Coronach exists because of power: SaskPower's Poplar River Power Station — coal-fired generation — operates beside the town, with the Big Muddy badlands drawing visitors just to the south. Contractors, service businesses and tourism operators all work here. BizFin.ca helps Coronach businesses explore financing for the equipment, fleets and seasonal working capital that work requires.

A POWER TOWN BESIDE THE BIG MUDDY BADLANDS.
SaskPower's Poplar River Power Station — 582 MW across two coal-fired units — operates near Coronach, and the town's commercial economy runs on the ecosystem around it: maintenance and service contractors, transport, and the retail and hospitality businesses of a service town. Poplar River is also part of SaskPower's staged coal life-extension program, and its status is current: per SaskPower's project material (project chart updated July 29, 2026), all of Poplar River's unit condition assessments are complete; engineering design is expected to start in 2027 for PR2 and PR0 — with that life-extension work currently expected complete by the end of 2031 — and in 2029 for PR1, whose work currently targets completion by the end of 2033. Those multi-year engineering, procurement, maintenance and construction phases are exactly what a regional contractor economy plans around.
South of town, the Big Muddy Valley draws visitors — guided badlands tours, ranch-country hospitality and hunting-outfitter activity in a landscape Tourism Saskatchewan promotes as outlaw-country heritage. Coronach-area businesses may therefore need two very different kinds of capital: industrial service equipment and fleets on one side, tour vehicles, lodging and kitchen equipment on the other. BizFin.ca helps them explore both.
WHAT DRIVES BUSINESS IN CORONACH.
Power generation & services
SaskPower's Poplar River Power Station — 582 MW across two units, operating today — anchors a local service and contractor economy. Its life-extension program is staged and ongoing: unit condition assessments are complete, engineering design is expected to start in 2027 for PR2 and PR0 (current completion target end of 2031) and in 2029 for PR1 (current completion target end of 2033), per SaskPower's project chart updated July 29, 2026.
Ranching & agriculture
The Big Muddy country around Coronach is cattle and grassland first, with crop agriculture and ranch services forming the town's other year-round base.
Badlands tourism
Guided Big Muddy tours, heritage sites and hunting-outfitter activity bring a seasonal visitor economy to a town better known for power than tourism.
