Earlier this week, it was revealed that the carbon capture facility at Boundary Dam was operating at only half its anticipated capacity.

That resulted in SaskPower paying out 12 million dollars in penalties to Cenovus Energy, with more possibly on the way.

President and CEO of SaskPower Mike Marsh says despite not reaching their goals, he's still pleased with the progress with the one-of-a-kind Carbon Capture and Storage Facility.

"We still achieved over 400,000 tonnes of production, which I think is very good. We're looking at improved performance as we move into the later part of 2015 and into 2016."

Marsh adds that he is still looking forward to the future of the project.

"400,000 tonnes of production to date is great, if you want it to be higher, it's certainly possible. Having lower performance in a first year like this with it being the first of its kind isn't unreasonable."

The Carbon Capture and Storage facility at Boundary Dam officially open in October of last year.
