Starting today, Saskatchewan homeowners and businesses will see their natural gas rates reduced. However, the savings may be only temporary if the federal carbon tax is imposed on SaskEnergy customers. SaskEnergy’s commodity rate drops from $3.65/Gigajoule (GJ) to $2.95/Gigajoule (GJ) today, which is the lowest rate offered to customers since 1999. SaskEnergy has applied to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel for an even lower rate of $2.65/GJ, which would come into effect on April 1, 2019. The Government of Saskatchewan approved SaskEnergy’s request for an interim November 1 rate to allow...

SaskEnergy has filed a combined one-year commodity and three-year delivery service rate proposal with the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel. The proposal would ensure the maintenance of safe, reliable and affordable natural gas service across Saskatchewan over the next three years. The impact of the proposal on SaskEnergy’s residential customer bills is an increase, on average, of $11.95 per month (16.8 per cent) in year one, $2.43 per month (2.9 per cent) in year two, and $2.53 per month (3.0 per cent) in year three. “SaskEnergy’s residential customers currently have the lowest natural gas bills...

SaskEnergy provided value to customers throughout 2021-22 — including the lowest residential natural gas bills in Canada — while delivering strong financial results on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan. In its annual report released today, SaskEnergy reported net income from operations of $82 million - up $23 million compared to last year. The increase is largely due to a one-time accounting adjustment related to the conclusion of litigation that awarded SaskEnergy title to its head office building in Regina. Higher demand for natural gas from industrial customers, as well as higher demand...

The Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel (the Panel) has recommended an overall decrease in energy bills for SaskEnergy customers. On average, residential customers would see their bills decrease by approximately $2 per month, or $28 annually. If approved by Cabinet the rate changes will take effect November 1, 2016. SaskEnergy’s rate application proposed a 14% DECREASE to the overall commodity rate, combined with an 8.6% INCREASE in the delivery rate. The combined effect of these changes would be an average reduction of approximately 3% for an average residential customer. In its application...
