Panel announces review of SaskEnergy Commodity and Delivery Service Rate application
The Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel will review a rate application from SaskEnergy that proposes to lower the Commodity Rate it charges its customers from $3.65 per Gigajoule (GJ) to $2.65/GJ, to take effect April 1, 2019. The application also proposes a 3.7% increase in SaskEnergy’s Delivery Service Rate, also to take effect on April 1, 2019. On an interim basis SaskEnergy has also asked that part of the commodity rate reduction, from $3.65GJ to $2.95GJ, become effective November 1, 2018.
The rate application and other supporting documents will be posted at the Panel’s website, www.saskratereview.ca, as they become available. The Panel welcomes comments or questions from the public using the following options:
