Coteau Creek Hydroelectric Station is a hydroelectric station owned by SaskPower, located near Danielson Provincial Park about 100 kilometres (62 mi) south-west of Saskatoon, between the towns of Outlook and Elbow. The station is on the South Saskatchewan River and draws water from the Gardiner Dam and is named after a nearby tributary to the South Saskatchewan River.
The Gardiner Dam was constructed between 1959 and 1967. The generating station required nearly three years to construct at a cost of CDN $40 million and became operational in 1969.[1]
