The province has received a legal challenge for their continued use of coal power plants past the 2030 federal mandate, coming from some community groups and individuals in the province.
The Saskatchewan Environmental Society (SES) launched its own announcement, calling on the province to reverse its decision.
They're joined by the Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ) and three private citizens from Saskatchewan and Manitoba who want the province to stop coal production by the federal government's mandated timeframe.

CPJ, the SES, and the three individual applicants are represented by Saskatchewan environmental lawyer Glenn Wright and have filed an application for judicial review.
In the application, the groups contend that the province used irrelevant and inaccurate economic analysis, failed to consider Saskatchewan's international obligations, federal law, and charter law, and they did not justify the departure from past decisions.
The three applicants, including 12-year-old Kiké Dueck, Sherry Olson, a Saskatchewan resident and co-host of an environmental podcast and radio show, and Matthew Wiens, a Manitoba farmer.
