In 2013, SRC and Cowessess First Nation trail-blazed a new utility-scale wind-battery microgrid project located on Cowessess land near Regina, Sask. The goal for the project was to demonstrate the reliability of renewable energy through this microgrid demonstration. The project also enabled Cowessess to enter into a power purchase agreement with SaskPower and allow them to participate in the renewable sector - generating revenue for the First Nation and spurring further Indigenous economic development.

SRC is reinventing the traditional method of mixing and manufacturing metals with innovative advancements in metal smelting technology — an integral part of SRC’s minerals-to-metals Rare Earth Processing Facility.

SRC joined forces with a group of tech companies to tackle the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Program – Pop-up City contest to demonstrate an improved Relocatable Temporary Camp (RTC) with improved energy, water and waste management systems.

During a time when a global pandemic brought industries across the world to a standstill, shuttering businesses and stymying job growth, the Government of Saskatchewan initiated a program to help get people back to work.
