We’ve teamed up with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) and Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) to let you know about the crucial need for carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Why? Because having a working CO alarm in your home could save your life, and the lives of those you love. Last year, SaskEnergy responded to over 1,500 CO calls.

The warm summer weather may mean that you’ve traded your furnace for an air conditioner (AC), but that doesn’t mean you can go ahead and forget about the importance of carbon monoxide (CO) safety! “It’s important to remember that CO dangers aren’t limited to the winter months,” says James Gates, Director of SaskEnergy’s Customer Solutons team. “While we may not be heating our homes in the summer months, CO is produced any time a carbon-based fuel — such as natural gas, propane, gasoline or wood — is burned, such as when operating a barbecue or when your water heater is running.” Proper...

As part of SaskEnergy’s commitment to environmental sustainability, a pilot project at our Regina Service Centre (RSC) is tracking real-time energy consumption, which will help us to reduce our emissions at that location. For most of this year, Regina-based energy management company Greenwave Innovations has been collecting round-the-clock data from 105 different monitoring points at RSC, which is one of our larger sites. This will help us determine where we can find efficiencies in our electricity and natural gas usage. Current transmitters are installed within electrical panels across the...
