SaskEnergy looking to lower customers’ bills in October
Homeowners in Saskatchewan could be getting some relief on their energy bills.
In a media release Wednesday, SaskEnergy announced it will apply Thursday to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel for adjustments to its commodity and delivery service rates.
The Crown corporation will seek a 22.1 per cent decrease to the commodity rate, dropping it from $4.20 per gigajoule to $3.30 per gigajoule. It also will seek a five per cent increase to the delivery service rate.
The utility said the combination will create an overall bill decrease of approximately $5.66 per month ($68 per year) for the average residential customer. If approved, the decrease would take effect on Oct. 1.
