As the weather turns cold, our customers rely on natural gas to heat their homes and businesses. SaskEnergy plans year-round to provide Saskatchewan residents with the energy they need. One of the ways we meet the demand for energy is with storage caverns. Storage caverns are large underground cavities where we can safely store natural gas. A storage cavern has an average size of about 40 to 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools and are about one kilometre below the ground. “A storage cavern is the greatest thing for the storage of energy,” says Derek Leach, Director of SaskEnergy’s System Control...

Starting a co-op term can feel exciting — and a little intimidating. At SaskEnergy, we make sure students feel supported from day one and give them real-world experience to help build confidence.

I like being a part of figuring out the best solutions that will help them realize their...

For years, SaskEnergy's Prud’homme Compressor Station has been more than a hub for energy — it’s been a hidden sanctuary for nesting birds. “We've been managing nesting birds at the station for more than 10 years. There are several wetlands near the facility and the area provides excellent nesting habitat for migratory bird species,” says Ashley Syrgiannis, SaskEnergy's Manager of Environmental Assessment. “So, before our Prud’homme Expansion Project began, we approached our Operations team to see if they would be interested in some habitat enhancements.” As part of the Prud’homme Expansion...

As SaskEnergy works toward the goal of reducing emissions by 35 per cent by 2030, our Emissions Management team is leading the charge. A small but mighty team of four employees, all of their work hinges on SaskEnergy’s environmental regulatory compliance requirements and voluntary commitments related to emissions reduction. This team is also responsible for capital projects connected to SaskEnergy’s Roadmap to 35 per cent by 2030, and provides project support for emissions requirements at new or upgraded facilities. In this capacity, they work with teams across the company — from engineers to...
