Using storage caverns to serve our customers

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...

New high-efficiency natural gas furnaces are being installed at more than 40 homes.

Weyburn staff “fit the bill” in caring for nesting duck

In early May, a female Mallard was spotted waddling into the bushes outside SaskEnergy’s customer service office in Weyburn. Later that day, when our staff went to see if the duck was still in the bushes, they discovered a nest with four eggs! Before long, four eggs became 10. The female Mallard — lovingly named Daisy by SaskEnergy’s Weyburn employees — and her nest became a fixture both at work and at home.

Work term provides student with diverse learning experience

University of Regina student Jacob Tedla recently completed a summer work term at SaskEnergy — and it was hardly par for the course! A highlight of his term?
